In The Spotlight

Alex Crichton – “Stuck On You”

Hailing from Ottawa, this Canadian singer-songwriter gradually and naturally gravitated towards a guitar, which always was a fixture in his childhood home. He studied the instrument thoroughly and taught himself how to play. In his teens he added audio engineering to his skill set. Since the start of his career, he’s played venues like the Barclays Center and State Farm Arena. Drawing inspiration from Ed Sheeran, John Mayer and The 1975, he released his debut “I’ll Wait For You” in 2023.

Capturing the isolating feeling you get when you’re unable to move on from a past relationship, while seeing the whole world moving forward with their lives, his new single explores the emotional stalemate of holding on to a past love. Driven by a cinematic blend of his acoustic alt-pop roots and modern electronic touches, it’s the punchy drums, ambient synths and warm bass guitar that forge a layered melody. And with his yearning vocals, this melancholic tune is a true healing gem.
