Mark Alexander
Remedy
This is a really mature and well-rounded record for someone so young. Mark Alexander’s ‘Remedy’ falls somewhere towards being comparable to Ray Lamontagne and James Morrison, just with a bit more of a folk element in the melody.
The plucked guitar has all the warm tones required to gently push things along and the vocal swings from smoky lows to cloudy highs with not a hint of a strain.
The strings that appear towards the end of the track are high in the mix, creating a solo rather than an accompaniment and they disappear as quickly as they came to let Mark finish things off on his own.
A promising record and an artist with bags of potential.
