Ben Alexander’s Single, ‘The Painter’ is a Piece of Art

Posted on

Ben Alexander’s latest release ‘The Painter’ is an ethereal and spacey twist on mainstream pop music. The song elevates you in a dramatic and grand way, with stunning vocal melodies that float in the air. The production and composition fits perfectly together, tied together with warm synths and pads. “The Painter” is a song about perception and how people often get their reality “painted” in limited ways that in turn limits themselves.

The track contains many electronic elements combined with a mix between acoustic and orchestral sounds.  The Norwegian artist, Mormaid, is the singer of the song and the track represents the first collaboration the two artists released together. Mormaid delivers the vocal performance with captivating emotion. Her dreamy vocals combined with Ben Alexander’s musical arrangement and production makes “The Painter” a song you don’t want to miss out on both in music and message. You can listen to the song here:

Ben Alexander explains that “the song is presented from the point of view of the painter (the force that sets the reality and forces you to ‘play by the rules’) and the bridge represents the individual who realises this ‘painted reality’ and claims to remember who they are in order to achieve what has been painted as impossible. I wrote the song as one entire metaphor.”

Ben Alexander is an artist, music producer, and composer from Norway. He is known to have an experimental style that transcends the traditional boundaries of music genres.

His list of inspirations speaks for itself: Bon Iver, Kanye West, Michael Jackson, Royksopp, Deep Forest, and Hans Zimmer. Ben wrote his first song at the age of eight and plays classical piano, guitar, and drums.

“I wrote the song as one entire metaphor.”
