Hailing from the vibrant city of Manchester, R&B singer-songwriter Alex Ko makes a powerful return with his latest poetic masterpiece, “High On You.” This new single, steeped in soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics, marks a significant moment in Alex’s blossoming musical journey.
“High On You” is a testament to Alex’s ability to weave authentic and direct vocals with smooth, soul-infused production. The track effortlessly captures the essence of vulnerability, as Alex’s nostalgic harmonies and intimate wordplay take center stage. With lyrics like, “I get high on you, it’s the vibe you give out, energy like oud, sends me to another place while still connected,” Alex beautifully explores the deep connections he shares with loved ones. These uplifting affirmations, coupled with his vast vocal range, create an experience that resonates with listeners on a deeply personal level.
Speaking about the inspiration behind “High On You,” Alex shares, “High On You is a love letter to the people in my life that have always supported my musicality, personal growth and happiness. The song’s a product of me taking time to find a sound that truly resonates, and I love it’s bluesy, soulful quality. Even though it was a product of patience, the lyrics were written in just an hour while sat in my friend’s South London barber shop. The peaks, valleys and joyful melodies make it an all-encompassing experience to perform.”
Before embarking on his solo career, Alex rose to prominence as the lead in the acclaimed West End production “Thriller,” where he toured the world and captivated sold-out audiences. This experience honed his all-round performance skills and laid the foundation for his journey as a solo artist. Now, with “High On You” as his latest offering, Alex is poised to make his mark on the London R&B scene.
Looking ahead, Alex promises more releases this year, all leading up to his forthcoming body of work. Through his music, he reflects on themes of love, life, and the rich blend of his dual Chinese and British heritage, offering a unique perspective that sets him apart in the industry.
“High On You” is more than just a single; it’s a statement of intent. As Alex Ko continues to carve out his path in the music world, this track sets the tone for what’s to come—a soulful, introspective journey that resonates with listeners and solidifies his place in the London R&B landscape.
