Product Description
ALEX CLARE's first single for, Too Close, is currently featured in Microsoft's compelling and captivating new Internet Explorer Ad. As a result, the emotionally charged and undeniable song has quickly propelled him into the spotlight.
Produced by Diplo [M.I.A., Madonna], Too Close is a potent and powerful anthem that properly introduces the world to this enigmatic singer and songwriter. It elegantly fuses pop, electronic, and garage with tangible touches of soul. The song's thumping bass morphs into a dubstep-infused break as CLARE elegantly croons an irresistible refrain. That chorus echoes a myriad of feelings, and it's already resonating with the world.
Given its poignant heft and vivid lyrics, the track proved to be the perfect companion for Microsoft's new advertisement about Internet Explorer's ability to connect people. Award-winning director Keith Rivers actually handpicked Too Close; The ad celebrates the beauty of the web, and the song certainly possesses that same beauty and mass appeal. Everything cascades in unison for a truly unforgettable video. Running through June, the spot will be rolled out globally and is also currently running in movie theaters everywhere. It's a testament to the talent that CLARE possesses on his debut album, The Lateness of the Hour.

I listen to this all the time. 8 of 10 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: LATENESS OF THE HOUR (Audio CD) I expect most people will be drawn to Amazon for Alex's album due to Internet Explorer's commercial currently airing on television. This is frustrating since neither Amazon nor iTunes currently has anything available for purchase right now except the single or the album as an import. But once this album becomes readily available, people are going to be blown away by its brilliance. It's a must have. Alex, you rock! :) 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Lateness Of The Hour (MP3 Download) I had never heard of Alex Clare until the day I researched him. I saw the commercial for Microsoft and thought I love that song. The song was "Too Close" I found out who the artist was and went on Amazon to see if he had an album. I was happy to see that he did. The album The Lateness of The Hour is fantastic.He has the blend of Maroon 5 and Adele. He can do the fast number and then kill you with a tender ballad. I hope more people will give him a try. He is very talented. I love the album. |
