Hailing from Toronto, emerging singer-songwriter, Alex Exists, has been captivating listeners with his raw energy, haunting melodies, and sensible lyrics that beg to be heard. He is the definition of a true artist. Known for his eclectic and unconventional musical style, Alex blends elements of glam rock, grunge, psychedelic, new wave, and baroque pop into one mesmerizing sound. Alex doesn’t play by the rules and he shines beyond all of his counterparts. The Slavic-Canadian alt-pop artist can’t be limited. He is a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and filmmaker all in one. His creative ability is on full display in everything he does, and he enters our pages with his latest album “Everybody’s Famous”.
Now, “Everybody’s Famous” isn’t just an album, I consider it an outer body experience. The album is laced with lush melodies, captivating singles, and some of the best songwriting I have heard in years. For many artists, it is hard to create multiple good songs let alone an album. However, Alex proves that making a cohesive album is needed more than ever in an industry that rewards playlists and virality. He is an artist fighting for the arts, and his genuine stories are what make this album so relatable.
“The album is a unique set of stories about the complex and often absurd nature of human behavior, and the need to express our truth and full potential,” says Alex. It’s the tension between these themes that fuel Everybody’s Famous and blends the rebellious, grungy, glammy, punky, and psychedelic sounds into an eight-track punch.
“Everybody’s Famous” is one those elite albums that doesn’t have a single bad track on it . From “With A Bang “, “Camera Boy” and “Dancing With Chaos” Alex Exists cast a spectacular musical spell with his “show stopping “album “Everybody’s Famous “
The track that I found to be a highlight on the album was “Mindless Madness”. The song has this really spooky/carnival/Willy Wonka vibe that we absolutely cannot get enough of.
Overall, Alex did an amazing job on the album, and he has solidified himself as one of our artists to watch for 2023. He defies the rules and sticks to his well-crafted sound. In an industry that reward those that chase trends, it is great to see an artist push for originality and focus on their own sound. This innovative way of thinking and branding will make him a star. With that being said, stream his album below and check out the visual for “Mindful Madness” below!
