<a href="spotify:artist:2dXvwbLveYKOEf91XZtdPr" data-name="Alex MacRae">Alex MacRae</a>’s debut release ‘Feeling Space’ is out now.
Hailing from the Wester Ross region of the Highlands, Alex’s love for music has been instilled in him for as long as he can remember, with many road trips being soundtracked by the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:2hO4YtXUFJiUYS2uYFvHNK" data-name="Traveling Wilburys">Traveling Wilburys</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7x5rK9BClDQ8wmCkYAGsQp" data-name="Paolo Nutini">Paolo Nutini</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:21UJ7PRWb3Etgsu99f8yo8" data-name="Stereophonics">Stereophonics</a>. Guitar was mainly a hobby until he turned 18, when a new-found love of Britpop and post-Britpop bands encouraged him to start writing his own music.
‘Feeling Space’ was one of these many songs, written at the beginning of 2025 around a chorus riff, the song grew into a story of the liberated feeling of leaving the wilderness to the city, with a new-found assuredness to make his own way to success. Writing from the edge of his bed with acoustic guitar in hand, Alex’s music comprises of laid-back, honest soft-rock tunes about the thoughts which occupy his mind.
