With only three years in the industry under his belt, or at least under his name on Spotify, Alex White has already proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.
A year passing since his last hit single has not deterred this up-and-coming indie pop superstar. “Eyes Wide Shut,” released at the start of August, is already being recognized as one of his best songs. It starts with a bang, making it obvious that White has stepped up his game with his lyrics.
White’s dedication to his fans is also something that draws in new listeners. He puts so much love and emotion into his lyrics that it makes it impossible not to submerge yourself into the melodies, as well as the memories of your own experiences. His songwriting is accurate, making it easy to relate to him and his music, knowing he has gone through the same thing you have. That is what draws humans together: connection. And White hits that target in the dead center.
“Ive been shoving this song down your throats for what it seems like months, and im so excited that its finally out in the world,” White wrote in an Instagram post about his new single,
“im so thankfull for all of you guys, everyone who shows support and all of ur comments and dms 🥹 I LOVE YOU!! Thank you for always hearing me out. GO STREAM EYES WIDE SHUT!!!”
The Toronto-based artist turned heartbreak into an anthem, a song about rejection and admiration into a mega-hit and a gift for his fans. And if you are not on the Alex White hype train yet, this song might convince you just in time for the next chart-topping hit.
