The 18-year-old Scot is the complete package: the pop-writing craft of George Michael the looks of a young Elvis and a soul-pop voice to die for, combine this with the power pop team of Xenomania and we have something utterly unique.
Alex Gardner grew up in Edinburgh, surrounded by music. Mum was a violinist with an orchestra, his older brother played in a heavy metal band. “I started having piano lessons when I was 5,” he says. “Though I quit when I was 6. I couldn’t stand someone telling me how to do it. If music sounds right, then it has to be right. It shouldn’t matter about the method.”
Having supported Paolo Nutini across Scotland, played on the same bill as Mika and Paloma Faith and performed dozens of his own shows, Gardner has cut his chops live. “Performing is such an essential part of what I do,” he enthuses. “I was always the guy at parties who’d get the guitar out.”
“Edinburgh is absolutely beautiful, but it can be a bit of a slow-paced city,” he says. “I wanted to see if there was a bit more excitement in London.” So Gardner struck out for the capital – which is where he met Brian Higgins, Xenomania’s director.

I love this guy. He's so underrated tbh. Thankful that I discovered him two years ago. Still a tuneeee

This is one of those songs that, at the time, I was quite bored by. But looking back at it years later I'm baffled why it wasn't at least a moderate hit. Beautiful boy, good singer, and the song is actually a lovely piece of electro pop. If this had been Sam Sparro's follow-up to "Black and Gold" he would have been a two hit wonder.

Saw Alex last night in Edinburgh he was amazing so good live, this song is not his best there is alot of material which should have been his first single. Alex is incredible, best talent to come out of Edinburgh for a long time
