Alex Jo releases new EP

Originally hailing from Romania, Alex Jo is an emerging UK-based singer-songwriter who’s set to leave her mark on the mainstream music charts around the world. Starting her sonic endeavour at the age of just eight years old, she entered two prestigious Romanian talent contests, ‘Next Star’ and ‘Voice of Romania’, where she delighted judges with her natural vocal gift.

Making an explosive entrance, she took her first steps as a fully fledged solo artist with the release of her debut single “Never Give Up”, already clocking over thirty thousands streams on Spotify alone. Taking influence from modern pop songstress Ariana Grande, Alex Jo offers an infectiously catchy sound led by her alluring vocal leads, wrapped up in colourful instrumental arrangements.

Now bringing us her follow up to her debut single she shares her new double-track EP titled Velas. Featuring the lead single “Velas”, alongside a remix version by RD Millz, with her first EP, Alex Jo showcases her stunning vocal talents by letting her voice soar above an intricate finger-plucked acoustic guitar backing.

Revealing a completely different side to her sonic offering, with the stripped back vibe of “Velas” she lets her beautiful songwriting shine through on a graceful and dreamy pop outing. Linking up with RD Mills for a rework of the track, her exquisite vocal layers are re-imagined entirely in a laid back electronic setting to provide a pairing that compliments the original perfectly.
