Welcome to BuzzMusic, Josh Alexander. We love the intensity and devotion you've brought to your recent single, "Hurricane." What inspired this larger-than-life single?
Thank you so much for the kind words. My love for one of my favorite people is what inspired this song. They had been going through some hard times, and I wasn’t even aware due to the distance separating us. I wanted a song big enough to let this person know how much they mean to me and how far I’d go for them. I’m so happy that you enjoy it.
Did any artists or genres influence the intense and gripping production of "Hurricane"? What inspired this cinematic and bold approach?
So I’ve actually been working a lot on developing my style and defining who I am as an artist in the last couple of years. I am currently working on my first EP, which is set to drop this fall. My vision for the EP is pop that’s grand, bold, edgy, and cinematic. “Hurricane” is the first single off the EP to drop, so it’s a teaser for what’s to come. I grew up listening to Coldplay, U2, Oasis, One Republic, and John Legend… and they’re nothing short of grand! I wanna follow in their footsteps with big, bold, and great time lasting songs.
What was your personal experience creating "Hurricane?" Was it easy for you to confess those emotions and be so open during your creative process?
I wrote hurricane with three friends who I felt comfortable sharing personal information with, and it made it very easy to write this song with them. I am always super “raw” when it comes to my writing, and I don’t hold back if I need to pass a message.
Why did you choose to release "Hurricane" as the lead single from your forthcoming debut EP? Could you drop some hints about the new project?
The EP was thought out as a movie soundtrack. When listening to all the songs off the EP, “Hurricane” felt like such an opening song. “Hurricane” really sets the tone for what’s to come.
What can listeners anticipate to hear next from you this year?
They can expect to hear five brand-new songs, and I’ll be announcing show dates very soon! Stay tuned.
