Setting the tone with an immersive synthscape and atmospheric, textured vocals, Antony Alexander opens I Ain’t Coming Back with an assertive message, seeking independence for both the artist and those privileged enough to experience the prose.
The opus expands into an intricate dance-pop anthem with hyperpop adjacency, as the independent artist takes us on a somewhat euphoric journey with his composition. We learn from Antony Alexander that the story of the song is “about [a] break up and continuing on life’s journey and not looking back.”
Described by an elusive industry insider as showcasing “excellent production”, an “outstanding mix”, with “great tonal balance”, we are inclined to agree. The track is definitely a good fit for the gym, car, or dance floor and we deeply appreciate the authenticity and depth that Antony Alexander shares.
With reference to his influences, the rising star cites “Electronic music from the 1980s like New Order, The Shamen, OMD, and the Buggles”, he adds “Trance and Progressive House from more recent times”, which we can feel come to life on I Ain’t Coming Back, although it is clear that Antony Alexander is creating a sound of his own.
We love what Antony Alexander is creating, and have added I Ain’t Coming Back to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream his wider discography including Without You, and Try.
