The track is the artist’s first release in seven years following a battle with cancer and personal trauma
The release of Alex Cambridge‘s new single ‘Rupture’ is a welcome and uplifting one is more ways than one, with it serving the artist’s first in seven years after a battle with cancer and a traumatic experience halted her career. The heartfelt nature of the sound, which is a re-recording of an old favourite, is a wonderful reminder of the compelling and engrossing nature of the artist’s style and her stunning vocals, and a wonderful way to reintroduce herself after so much time away.
The emotionally raw release explores feelings like betrayal and the subsequent healing that follows, and there is a calmness and a sense of smoothness and tranquillity to Alex’s vocals and sound that feels liberating throughout, bringing a nuanced and cultured feel to an indie pop sound that feels as captivating as it is vibrant. This makes for a really thoughtful and immersive release that is packed full of charm and character, melding folk-inspired storytelling with a more modern pop appeal that brings out the best of both and makes for a really compelling package on the whole. Alex Cambridge is an artist with an inspiring story and journey, and it will be interesting to see where she takes her sound when she releases some newer original tracks.
