“There isn’t a time in my life I can remember when music wasn’t a huge part of it.” While Alex Bloom grew up with the pop and rock standards, even studying music in college, his main focus at this time is putting that all to use by exploring what it means to be a singer-songwriter in the 21st century. Alex foregoes categorization and sticks to what feels authentic to him. “My goal with all the music I release is to keep exploring a vast array of my influences. Songs on the same album can sound vastly different from each other, because I try not to filter out ideas based on genre lines.”
Bloom’s latest single “I’m Sorry” is a surprisingly complex arrangement with hidden layers left to discover with each close listen. Keys and electric are constantly swirling around each other while still leaving room for Bloom’s stacked vocals to seemingly meander through what turns out to be a very deliberate and exciting melodic throughline.
