Video: Alex Gardner - Feeling Fine (Official video)

Speaking of songs that make sense after a week of driving around and lying on the beach... Before I left, I was one of those people complaining about the auto-tuning that makes the words in the chorus of Alex Gardner 's new single "Feeling Fine" incomprehensible. The highly processed sound was a sudden shift from the "Xenomania does singer-songwriter with some synths" of before and hid what many saw as Alex's main asset, his soulful voice. Don't summer singles largely live and die on the ability of a group of [...]

"Voglio scrivere grandi canzoni pop che durano per sempre. Il mio stesso gusto musicale è così diversificato, da Frank Sinatra e Dean Martin a Marvin Gaye e Bob Marley, che posso apprezzare il buono in ogni canzone. Posso notare un bel giro di chitarra e dire 'Wow, quel pezzo è davvero bello' - indipendentemente da dove arriva la musica. Ecco perchè le mie canzoni vanno dalle ballate piene di soul alle tracce pop ben ritmate". Parte con queste dichiarazioni la carriera di un giovane cantautore di Edimburgo che sta facendo molto parlare: si tratta di [...]

Alex Gardner's out-0f-the blue new single ,Feeling Fine, does make one feel fine at all. It does not even make one feel just... okay. This is the sound of a brilliant singer smothered in vocoder. You can just hear the contemptuous, cynical record executives saying, "Let's make it more like Drake and Derulo and Cruz! " Sample chorus lyric: "bleh bubbah feeling finnnnee belueb beebubb ahh [...]

Why hasn't Alex Gardner taken off yet? His first single, the FABULOUS " I'm Not Mad " peaked at #44 on the UK Singles Chart and #20 in his native Scotland. Alex Gardner is fresh-faced and mega-talented. I can't help but wonder if this whole dance/pop direction just isn't working for him? As versatile as his voice may be, Jamie Cullum -style pop/rock/jazz seems to be more his strongsuit. He's being called the next George Michael [...]

When we featured Alex Gardner as our very first Popping Up artist back in January, the young Xenomania protege was still months away from the release of his debut single "I'm Not Mad" in the UK. All this time later we still don't have an full album from Alex in our hands, but his second single "Feeling Fine" is scheduled for a September release. Catch the video, which was shot in Spain, after the jump. We're clearly fans of Alex, who has demonstrated that he's full [...]

Supercutie Alex Gardner ( who I interviewed a few weeks ago ) just dropped the video for his second single Feeling Fine . The video is nice but the song is disappointing, especially compared to You See With Me , Heartbreak of Yesterday's News . Plus, his voice has a bit too much autotune here, even though it absolutely doesn't need it. Too bad. Hopefully Feeling Fine [...]
