A poignant, meaningful and story-focused jewel, ‘Home’ delivers intriguing storytelling and electrifying lyricism, courtesy of Eric Alexandrakis’ inspired artistic flair. A theatrical, almost dramatic record, the track flourishes over an eclectic arrangement balanced over subtle Greek elements (such as an accordion) and Western influences. The result is a quirky and unique anthem, crowned by Alexandrakis’ elegant and malleable vocals.
Based in Rethymno, Greece, Eric connected with a talented pool of US-based musicians, such as Ryan Hoyle on drums and Paul David Hager on mixing duties. It’s clear that Alexandrakis had a very specific artistic vision in mind, one that transcended geographical borders and pre-defined traditional genres. Yet, ‘Home’ still manages to retain a relatable character, fully immersing itself into rock-pop territories.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, he explains: “It’s about leaving the bad stuff behind…sadness…abuse…unhappiness… loneliness…loss…and taking that next big and difficult step towards happiness, and to where you truly belong.”
