Alexander Wolfe‘s ‘To Feel Love’ is a love letter, a heart-wrenching alternative pop release that pulls at the edges of our wounds and helps us heal through feeling all our feelings completely. And his voice, thick and sweet as honey, makes us fall in love a little more with every single listen.
The soft strings that dominate the soundscape of ‘To Feel Love’ make for an intimate listening experience, and the subtly thumping drums complete this stunning new release that slowly builds towards an echoing chorus, still ringing in our ears. From its very first tones the song pulls us in, and its ebbs and flows take us on a journey driven by love and feeling every single emotion that passes the revue when waltzing through life. A waltz, that is what Wolfe has created, incorporating recordings of conversations that make us feel like we are eavesdropping on a life that isn’t ours.
On the single, Wolfe said; “‘To Feel Love’ is a song about escapism. Escaping from your problems and boredom by going out and getting wasted, a trap I have certainly fallen into myself. It’s about that endless search for love and excitement and how it can lead you astray.” He’s opening up, sharing about a topic that is relatable to many of us, making it something that bit easier to talk about as he’s made it sound so beautifully fragile.
The London-born artist is at his most euphoric on ‘To Feel Love’, while it starts of warm and tender, it envelopes into a soaring swirl of instruments that leave an impression hard to ever be erased. His passionate vocal performance on his latest release make us long for more, and we are lucky, because his new album ‘Everythinglessness’ is out on the 16th of January, a great start to the new year.
