This remix of Alex Winston's "Guts" is hard, driving, bass laden, and packed with strut inducing synths, there are no soaring swirls to be heard, only the faintest twinkles from bright synths shimmer lightly in the background hint at their familiar dream sound. Very exciting change to "Guts" and even more exciting new sound from The Sound of Arrows. (via KickKickSnare)

When I listen to "Choice Notes" I picture a gang of feisty winged pixies breaking into a record store and ransacking the place for Foster The People, Lykke Li, and maybe other fun records leaving only a light sprinkling of glitter behind. Then they fly into an attic, dance around, and record the little gems that will comprise Alex Winston’s forthcoming LP King Con.

The video matches the song’s quirky, joyful vibes by melding colorful albeit dilapidated sights and sounds with confetti and fireworks! It’s kind of the gritty hip-indie version of Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” video. And I mean that as a compliment because that video is a feel-good confetti party! It has 50 million views for a reason. (via KickKickSnare)

#ANT favorite Alex Winston puts out a very interesting cover of "Everlasting Light" by The Black Keys. Word on the street is that she has a new record in the works and is calling it King Con, which will be dropping late February. 

To build-up more hype, she records a cover of the American rock band which is not of the usual Winston songs. But with great confidence in her, she aces the cover with uplifting vocals and a good end result.

Like I said, my favorite female artist at present, Alex Winston. Her most recent drop, "Velvet Elvis," has been remixed to summer perfection. The Crystal Fighters added a summer vibe that makes you wanna just head straight for the beach. Perfect for a hot day like today.

Alex Winston finally unveils the video for "Velvet Elvis," my favorite track from one of my favorite female artists in the business today (my crush). It is the lead single of her fourth EP released last September 19 via Island Records.

Says The Wounded Jukebox:

"Sometimes it takes a video to really explain the fullness of a song. And my, is “Velvet Elvis” a whole bit saxyier than first believed.  The unrequited love of an object, as envisioned by director Douglas Hart (seen in the pic above), is a –to say the least- provocative image to ponder.  In the companion clip for the single, Alex Winston makes all sorts of suggestive advances towards a smorgasbord of inanimates.  Never before have violin cases and bird cages seemed so brilliantly naughty.

And on a technical side, the lighting and the rapid frame editing technique Hart uses, along with his use of color or the lack thereof, makes this a great music video that fleshes out the undiscovered parts of a song."

Her voice, her eyes, how she moves, everything is just beautiful. And the vocals on this one is just simply amazing! It is impossible not to feel giddy and excited whenever her upbeat and youthful tracks start playing. No wonder her career just sky-rocketed. Checkout the smooth RAC remix of the track as well.
