Welcome to BuzzMusic, Alexander Black, and congratulations on your latest hit, "Good Times (Don't Stay THe Night)." What is something you want to say to your past self that you haven’t already through your music?
That it’s okay to feel like you don’t see yourself represented in society. Which is something I’m trying to dissect in my current releases.
Where do you get the inspiration to create such meaningful music?
I’m a chronic over-thinker and an optimist who’s good at getting hurt by people. So songwriting is the only way I feel agency in creating a space to reckon with those ideas and memories.
How do you think ‘’Good Times (Don't Stay The Night)’’ will help the queer cause for more understanding and empathy?
It definitely highlights a lot of experiences and attitudes that heteronormative people don’t have and might be less able to comprehend. This, in turn, makes it easier to spark conversations about those topics and hopefully allows queer people ways to better explain and define their defiance of certain expectations forced upon them.
What is something you are looking forward to sharing with the world with your music?
Perseverance in the queer experience. I know it can be very tough, and every day I’m still here, I learn a little bit more about myself and find ways to triumph in queer joy rather than pain or despair.
What's the message behind "Good Times (Don't Stay The Night)?"
That it’s okay to want to sleep alone in your own bed. And that a-romanticism doesn’t mean you can’t feel or share or give love, but that you just feel it differently. It goes to a wider discussion for me about the permanence of relationships in life but gives room for some nuance and depth.
What's next for you?
Releasing more songs and taking over the world.
