2014–2019: The X Factor and early singles

[edit]

Papandrea rose to prominence auditioning for the sixth season of The X Factor in 2014. She managed to reach the home visits stage, where she was eliminated. The following year, she auditioned for a second time, but only managed to reach the Chair Challenge this time round.

She is best known for her breakout single "Show You", which was co-written and produced by Sam Farrar of Maroon 5.

In 2019, she supported Maroon 5 on their Red Pill Blues Tour.[1] and released the singles "I Can't Have Nice Things"[2] and "Low Blow".[3]

On 7 May 2021, Papandrea released "Cry & Drive", the lead single from her second release.[6] On 20 August 2021, Papandrea released "Soft Rock"; co-written with Eric Leva in Los Angeles in 2019, Cxloe described the track in a press statement as chronicling her first heartbreak and channeling "Kelly Clarkson, side fringes, iPods, low rise jeans and Paramore".[7]

In December 2022, Papandrea released "Till the Wheels Fall Off". Written during 2020 during COVID lockdown, according to Cxloe, it's a bit of a "psychotic, obsessive love song, [and] was inspired from a deeply personal relationship."[8]
