ALEX SOUTHEY – “DON’T”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
Alex Southey has set a new bar for folk music. His unique bland of Canadiana, strings, and ability to articulate difficultย emotions makes him one of Canada’s most compelling songwriters.
“Don’t”, his latest single, distills down his traditionally big sound into something more intimate, yet still as compelling. Southey imbues the chords (only two) with as much emotion as is possible, thanks to an effective use of melody.
