Born in Sheffield and now based in south east London, Alfie Connor returns to the music scene after overcoming a challenging period of recovery following a serious motorbike accident. Despite setbacks, his resilience shines through as he returns to the studio to pick up where he left off and continue his musical journey.
Influenced by the likes of Prince, Lana Del Rey, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alfie Connor’s sonic output offers classic songwriting for a modern audience. Having previously toured with Tom Odell and played sold out shows across London, Alfie Connor’s return has been highly anticipated.
His earlier singles clocked millions of plays on Spotify, establishing him as a rising star in the music industry. However, it was during lockdown that Connor faced his toughest challenge yet, enduring multiple surgeries and a lengthy hospital stay following his motorbike accident.
Encouraged by his friend, leading artist Tom Odell, Alfie channeled his experiences into his music, creating a raw and meaningful sound that reflects his journey of recovery. Marking his official return earlier this year, he shared his first new music with the single “Good Times” and now brings us his latest release with the new track titled “Outside The Water.”
Released ahead of his upcoming EP, his new single serves up a stunning slice of acoustic rock brimming with memorable melodies, heartfelt lyricism and a sensational vocal performance. Opened by the warm strums of acoustic guitar, Alfie’s elegant voice glides in to thread bright leads above, crafting an intimate scene that has you hanging on every note and lyric.
As his voice rises to soar above the stripped back instrumentation, he injects subtle energy as hushed harmonies echo in the background, creating a superb display of his expressive vocals. Adding playful guitar flutters in the finale, “Outside The Water” delivers an engaging and memorable listening experience from start to finish. It’s a truly charming new musical offering from this talented artist who confirms he’s still at the top of his game while building the hype for his forthcoming EP.
