Alex Clare

 A few days ago I discovered a new musical artist: Alex Clare. He's sort of a dubstep/rock/low-down melodies sort of artist. I've really enjoyed his music thus far.

As just an example of his stuff, this song pretty much defines his genre.

Sanctuary - Alex Clare

(I tried to embed the video, but it wasn't working)

And if you liked that song, I would definitely recommend going and checking out more of his music. It will not disappoint. (Although, forewarning: If you are strongly against the use of foul language in music, I would steer clear of his song 'Treading Water'.)

It's often said of him that he has a sort of 'Adele sound'.

I don't think that's fair.

Maybe he does have a sort of Adele-like sound to some, but I find his music style incredibly unique and beautiful. The only thing I think is similar between him and Adele is the singing style. Even that is somwhat different due to the fact that Adele is a girl and Alex Clare is a guy.

Anyways, I'm gonna stop there before I begin a rant about originality in music and elsewhere.
Alex Clare is awesome.

I'm working on a review for one of my all-time favorite movies, and that will be up sometime soon, hopefully.
For now, I sign out.




Song quote of the post:
"Wrapped around you, the whole world just disappears. Time stands still when I'm with you; a moment feels like years." 
      -Alex Clare, "Sanctuary" (which you can hear above)


Scripture verse of the post:
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear ... "
      -1 John 4:18

  1. I really liked the verse that you wrote at the end: "perfect love casteth out fear..." It is so true.
