Sharing is caring!

Rex Orange County has just released his new single, “2008,” a deeply personal track from his upcoming album The Alexander Technique. Known for his unique blend of indie-folk and R&B, Rex takes a stripped-back approach with this release, offering fans an intimate glimpse into his emotional journey. The song is a taste of what’s to come as Rex explores new territory both musically and personally.

A New Chapter for Rex Orange County

“2008” marks the fourth single from The Alexander Technique and signals the beginning of a new era in Rex’s career. The album, co-produced by Rex alongside Teo Halm (known for work with Rosalía, SZA, and Beyoncé) and Jim Reed, is said to be his most honest and open project yet. According to Rex, “The Alexander Technique is very much a look into my own brain and experiences over the last few years – it’s almost a diary.”

This new chapter is reflective of Rex’s growth not just as an artist but as an individual. He has moved beyond his previous works, offering a raw, confessional narrative that touches on the highs and lows of life. The production is minimal, letting Rex’s lyrics take center stage, while still maintaining the orchestral layers that have become a hallmark of his sound.

A Personal and Reflective Journey

Rex Orange County’s latest album title is inspired by a therapeutic method used to address physical and emotional tension—an apt metaphor for the unburdened and raw nature of the music. “2008,” much like the rest of the album, embraces this idea, digging into personal challenges and emotional growth. Rex explains that this project is not just about love, but everything in life, making it his most varied and longest project to date. “I’ve made a lot of love songs over the years, and I feel as though this is the first time I’m trying to make a project about everything in life,” Rex shares.

The emotional weight of the album is sure to resonate with fans and newcomers alike, as Rex continues to redefine his sound. For those eager to experience it live, Rex will be bringing The Alexander Technique on tour across North America and the UK, performing in iconic venues with a stage show designed to bring this introspective journey to life.
