Alex Winston rings in the new year today with the release of the provocative animated lyric video for her new single “Careless”. The first song unveiled from her forthcoming spring 2015 album on her new label 300 Entertainment, “Careless” is available now on iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play, and will be be released as a 7″ with the b-side “We Got Nothing” on February 10th via Neon Gold (Pre-Order Now). Next week Winston will preview material from the new album at a January 22nd headlining show at Neon Gold’s Popshop in New York City (Tickets). Winston was also just announced as a performing artist at the 2015 SXSW Music Festival. Full schedule of SXSW performances to be announced in the coming weeks.
While the more personal nature of her recent work is certainly a thematic departure from the material found on her most previous album King Con, the shift is also indicative of Winston’s maturation as a musician and songwriter who finds herself more confident than ever in her own self expression.
“It’s the chorus of Alex Winston’s ‘Careless’ that signifies a step forward for the New York based singer,” writes Wonderland Magazine. “Everything is larger… …and has a sheen of an artist that’s grown up and accepted a certain path.”
