“Burn It All Down”
Lexi
Malaco Records (2012)

In her soaring, brassy soprano, gospel singer Lexi (Alexis Allen) of “The Lexi Show” delivers a melodic and well-crafted power praise ballad.
Her point is not literally to burn down physical buildings but to burn off the internal baggage and cleanse one’s self spiritually: narrow the focus down to God’s truth, “and leave only you.” Simple and dramatic.
