Queens, NY-based vocalist and songwriter Norman Alexander has stirred up a frenzy of interest in his artistry from music listeners and industry professionals alike, stemming from his widely lauded debut single No Goodbyes in 2021. With No Goodbyes, Alexander introduced the music world to his standout vocals, which are distinctly heart-rending, vividly emotive, and emanate prominently across any given composition.
The uber-talented recording artist, whose stylings can be categorized in the R&B/pop space, is building off the momentous upsurge provided by his debut song with the release of a rousing sophomore effort titled “The Reason” via MLife Music Group. The new single is also accompanied by an enthralling music video which has already caused a veritable clamor in the music industry as it has amassed almost 1.4 million YouTube views to date, remarkably hitting the million milestone within the first two weeks of its premiere.
“The Reason” is a gripping song and composition, touching and provocative in its theme, conveying the deep-seated emotions that arise out of the ashes of a broken romance, particularly the feelings of pain and regret that one can experience; however, the hurt is accentuated when you come to terms that you’re the reason that the love failed.
“The Reason” signifies an intensely personal experience in Alexander’s life, and he masterfully conveys every bit of emotion in the lyrical content to the listener. His voice reverberates across a minimalist soundscape that features a harmonious grand piano riff that opens up into a melodramatic string arrangement that possesses an orchestral tone. However, the ominous instrumentation makes way for Alexander’s mesmerizing vocal performance to shine.
I am floored by the cinematic aspect of the song as well as Alexander’s lead vocals expertly lead you into a dramatic buildup and arrival of the chorus in which he bellows in an impassioned fashion….
What do you do when your world burns down
And it’s getting cold
Lips turning blue and you’re breathing out
But don’t want to let go
What do you do when your heart is no longer numb
And you feel every pain of the one that you wronged
What do you do when your world burns down, and you’re the reason
