Alex Clare
The 28 year
old British singer/songwriter released his debut album 7/11/2011 in the United Kingdom.
THE LATENESS OF THE HOUR, was released to iTunes in May
2012. The album produced three singles of which the second ‘Too Close’ peaked at #4 in the UK and #7 on the USA
Billboard Top 100, and it has lots of radio play on alternative music radio
stations to this day.
I love the tune, the melody, the voice, the quality of
the song. I am not sure if this is a ‘One Hit Wonder’, but the quality of Clare’s
voice makes me think he has staying power.
The first
released single from the album is ‘Tightrope’ and the 3rd is ‘Treading
Water’.
Probably the
highest claim to fame was his link to Amy Winehouse, whom he dated for about a year
before it fizzled out. I think he has an interview or book about the
relationship somewhere, I’ve heard, but have not actually read, which is really
irrelevant, when talking about his talent.
Clare is
very secular and does not perform or travel on the Jewish Sabbath, or religious
holidays, which has cost him a gig or two. A man of conviction, but will it have an unfavorable
effect on his career? Only time will
tell.
