In The Spotlight

Alex Siegel – “Sentimental”

California born and raised, this singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist’s warm bedroom pop sound took the internet by storm in 2018. He generated 1.5 million stream in a matter of months. He’s worked as a session musician and toured with Malian guitar virtuoso Vieux Farka Touré on keys and Nine Pound Shadow on drums. He was also part of the musical project Waterstrider. Inspired by João Gilberto, Miles Davis and Bill Evans, he released his debut “Headspin” in 2018.

Creating the laidback feeling of a warm sunlit day and reminiscent of the folky songwriters of the time, his new single takes us back to the summers of the 70s. With its mellow rhythm, sweet acoustic guitar and velvety harmonies forging an easygoing melody dipped in silky nostalgia, it’s the airiness and softness of his heartfelt vocals gently bobbing along on the musical airwaves that add a melancholy and wistfulness to this welcoming, feel-good journey to sunny days of yore.
