ALX effectively manages capture the light-as-air feeling of the honeymoon phase with such ease, delivering a track we will not be forgetting any time soon.
ALX's sound is an engrossing fusion between pop and hip-hop, creating a sound and vibe all his own. He gave us a glimpse into his recording process sharing, “Studio time really consists of me and maybe one or two other people. I don’t like a lot of distractions. I go there to sing and lay down vocals, it’s not like a party for me."
His appreciation for pop is noteworthy and comes through in the gratifying melodies that gives "Love On Top" its infectious flow. Yet, his voice is a result of influence from the pop-punk era greats. There's a tender grit there. With "Love On Top," ALX throws himself into an acutely adventurous side of pop music. His is an affable take on a love song that he has dared to lend a slight edge. And what a win.
