Twenty years ago, Alex McEwan released his debut album ‘Beautiful Lies’, landed an airplay hit with the Radio 2 playlisted‘Make A Wave’ and toured the UK as guest to Katie Melua. It’s only now, however, that a second chapter is opening up in his career as today he releases his eagerly anticipated second album ‘In A World We Don’t Know’ (Listen Here) with the new single ‘Bee In A Honeypot’.
The new single ‘Bee In A Honey Pot’ opens the new album and sets the tone for an album that celebrates the joy of unexpected second chances in life, triumphing over adversity and throughout it, Alex wears his heart on his sleeve. ‘Bee In A Honey Pot’ is an effortlessly lovely and timeless single and shows how Alex has honed his craft to write classic love songs over the years.
“It’s a song about time and how limited our time on earth is,” explains the singer/songwriter from Glasgow. “About feeling free, and about the person you love. And given what we’ve all been through in the last three years, it speaks to a desire to feel free again, like we were as kids. But it’s also a love song to my wife.”
The more Alex McEwan busked, the stronger his talents became. Eventually he was able to travel throughout Europe, mixing busking and bar gigs as he travelled across the continent, his guitar usually being his only companion. After getting his life back on track and performing in Nashville and Los Angeles too, a bigger opportunity arose when he was approached by a stranger after a gig at the 12 Bar Club, who was in the process of setting up a new independent label that had a distribution deal with Universal. Alex was definitely interested, but wise enough to know that nothing is set in stone until a deal is signed.
