Inspired by his adventures and misadventures, Alexander McKay’s upcoming album “Bring Us Together” will be released in February 2014. In the meantime, he has already given his fans a treat: three songs are already out and ready to soothe your ears.
He has spent years and years touring in rock and hardcore bands but, now, Alexander feels ready to do the music he truly likes. Balancing between folk and rock, displaying a pure guitar sound working in cohesion with his raspy voice, McKay’s music is a delight to the ears. His first single “Stones”, released in June, has a nice persistent rhythm and a catchy guitar melody.
“Let Your Heart Wonder” is definitely rockier, edgier. It holds a great message: keep going, don’t let your heart out, do not hesitate and just go for it. Alexander’s raspy voice is emphasized by the track, or maybe it is working the other way around… On this track, you realize the singer’s background with rock bands.
Last but not least, “Winter” is a fantastic ballad that will give you a warm, snugly feeling, despite its title. There is a nice counter time and rhythm that makes it an ultimate favorite love song.
Alexander McKay’s songs are well balanced between clean and pure instruments and his unique voice. Easy to listen to, even if it is just for the lyrics or just for the music, his music is definitely one of a kind.
