The meaning of Alex Warren’s new album title has been revealed.
Wildchild will be out Aug. 28, and Alex says in a statement, “Growing up, my dad used to call me Wildchild so it’s always had a special meaning and I even have it tattooed on me.”
“Creating this album was really healing, therapeutic and a way for me to continue finding out more about myself,” he continues. “This album really shows where I am in my life today and compared to my first album which feels like a man who is broken, this one is a man who’s trying to heal.”
“It’s been really nice to be able to confront those feelings and also be able to share them with the world to give everyone a transparent view into my life.”
In an interview with Hits Radio UK, Alex says the songs on the album can be summed up as, “I hate you, I love you, and I love my wife and I miss you.” As he puts it, “I wanted to have at least a song or two for each emotion you feel.”
Alex has also released “Passenger,” a song from the new album that he’s been teasing on social media. In the song’s music video, Alex tries everything he can to get a girl’s attention — he sings in front of her, shoots off confetti, uses a flamethrower, lifts weights and does magic tricks — but she just keeps on looking at her phone.
Finally, he drives a forklift through the wall, only to see her go off with the guy who was helping him do the magic tricks.
