Emerging from Nashville, Alex Blizzy is who you would describe as a wholesome musician, a singer and a songwriter with a knack for relatable, heart-on-the-sleeve lyricism drenched in Americana and mellow rock flavourings. We fell in love with his evocative, warm vocals, the perfect match for such poignant and emotional sonic settings. ‘A Step Behind’ is the project’s debut effort, an incredible collection of nine songs, all manifesting the authentic and unique style Blizzy has to offer.
An award-winning and celebrated figure in the industry, Alex Blizzy uses the record to build a magnetising lyrical concept, exploring the idea of belonging and how changing our settings can offer a fresh perspective on existence, together with new opportunities. And so, through a kaleidoscopic yet focused sea of sonic references – ranging from Americana to alt-country, passing through nostalgic folk – Blizzy takes the listener onto a journey into human consciousness, perhaps offering solace and comfort to whoever might need it.
Title-track ‘A Step Behind’ introduces the album with majestic force, extending a warm embrace to the courageous traveller. A concept reiterated in ‘Drinking Town’, before shifting to ‘Wrong End of Goodbye’, where a steel guitar gracefully takes us to organic country settings, showcasing once again the project’s dynamism. Fear not, there’s way more to discover in ‘A Step Behind’.
