She has always craved the arts, and beautiful things, and although her family had financial difficulties, meaning they were unable to give her a musical education, she nonetheless took every opportunity given her to write her music.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Initially writing purely instrumental music, Thexele is now working her vocal development and expression, with &#8216;You&#8217;re Always On My Mind&#8217;, her debut pop single.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Released 21 November, the track was recorded in Phuket, Thailand, and explores the theme of how love can consume you entirely, and is symbolic of Thexele&#8217;s real life love story. With lyrics and arrangement by Arlie Nuth, &#8216;You&#8217;re Always On My Mind&#8217; is a stirring and emotional track, with a ballad style similar to that of Celine Dion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only is &#8216;You&#8217;re Always On My Mind&#8217; the debut single for Thexele, it also marks the first time she has ever recorded in a studio. The single serves as a showcase for her passion for making music, and is merely the starting point, as she has many more songs waiting to be recorded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stream and download &#8216;You&#8217;re Always On My Mind&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/ditto.fm\/youre-always-on-my-mind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
