Posted by Left-field songwriting talent A l e k x a n d r has shared his new single ‘fireflies in brooklyn’.
The artist has built a succinct but immensely creative catalogue, with each song seeming to emerge from a vastly personal sphere.
‘fireflies in brooklyn’ is no exception to this, with the tender vocal lilting above gloopy electronics with an R&B edge.
Beatific introversion that recalls aspects of Ben Gibbard’s vaunted project The Postal Service, as ever A l e k x a n d r is able to turn these tropes in a fresh direction.
Slowly unfurling, it builds to that glorious chorus, so redolent of endless summer evenings shot through with emotion.
Further sign of his blossoming artistry, A l e k x a n d r tells Clash: “I wanted to put it out now because to me it feels hopeful…”
Tune in now.
