ALEX LOUISE
On 11th February 2013, young female singer-songwriter Alex Louise will release her first single - catchy acoustic pop tune 'Undercover'. The single has a beautiful raw and simple vibe, focussing on the lyrical content and melody and showcasing an intimate vocal performance from Alex herself.
'I wanted to focus on the lyrical story of the song, rather than distracting the listener with too many layers of instruments and production,' explains Alex. 'Undercover is a classic breakup song in terms of the lyrical content, and I know there are a lot of people out there who will connect and relate to it.'
Alex started her career as a songwriter for other artistes, but now launches her own career after spending 2012 promoting herself as an artiste in her own right. 'Its been really liberating to get up on that stage and perform my songs. I'm really passionate about connecting with people through my music,' says Alex, who has done some hi-profile performances in the past year at Guilfest, prestigious charity event London Rocks, Pia Michi Prom 2012 (OK Magazine featured), Xmas lights celebrations for Bexleyheath and Guildford, and other venues such as the Regal Rooms, The Bedford, and Norwich's Epic TV studios.
'I can't wait to release the single! There's a lot more to come in 2013 and releasing Undercover is the first step for me' says Alex, who's debut album is expected later into 2013.
Alex is showcasing in the BBC Club alongside Unsung Lilly on Wed 23rd January 2013.
