Alex Winston - The Day I Died (Last.fm Sessions)
Pop artist Alex Winston stops by the Last.fm studio for a performance.
Alex Winston's shimmering, idiosyncratic pop has been on our radar since her 2012 debut King Con. Now she's back with her latest record, The Day I Died EP. While the title may sound morbid, the lyrics are really a recognition of change and transition in her life, as Alex explained in a recent visit to our studio.
The New York by-way-of Detroit singer also discussed her writing process, touring with Neon Trees, and other inspirations, including her background as a classically trained opera singer. However, that shouldn't come as a surprise though given her quirky and emotive vocals, which have even garnered comparisons to Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush. Watch her perform the title track well as the thundering anthem "Careless" and confessional ballad "Down Low" below and see for yourself.
