Single Focus: Alex Watts

Single title? Reunited

What's the song about? It's told from the point of view of a couple who've lost all form of communication except for bitterness. 

How long did it take to write/record? It evolved a bit in my live set before it became the feel-good pop single it is now. Recording it with a live string and horn section was a huge experience.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? The single is from my debut album Another Step In The Dark, which is out now.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? The album is a song cycle about murder, lust and revenge. And I figured it would be a good way to meet girls.

We'll like this song if we like... Big pop choruses and jazz inflected arrangements with lyrics about bitterness and distrust.

Do you play it differently live? We've done some shows with the full horn section, but for my next gigs I'm playing with just piano and voice, which will be different again.

When and where is your launch/next gigs? 22 & 29 Jul, Compass Pizza Bar. It will be my first ever solo voice and piano shows and are free, plus they do pizza.
