Alex Amor – 'Motion'
Rising Scottish artist Alex Amor dives deep into the divide of head vs heart on delicate new single ‘Motion’.
‘Motion’ is set in an ethereal soundscape shaped by intricate guitars and poetic lyricism. Alex’s gorgeous vocals float on a wavey bassline that drives the track forward in a steady motion while its elegant production blends upbeat percussions with serene harmonies and gives the track a calming touch. “There’s a melancholy to the impermanence of everything but it’s also incredibly freeing - and I wanted to capture that idea in a song,” Alex says about the track. “’Motion’ is something we can either flow with or against, and I’m learning to accept that the only thing we can rely on is that nothing stays the same.”
‘Motion’ joins previous singles ‘Prove Me Right’ and ‘The Part with Each Other’ on the track list for Alex Amor’s upcoming debut EP ‘Love Language’ – a record that explores the complexities of human relationships. As Alex explains: “I am obsessed with paradox and juxtaposition - calm and chaos, dark and light, serious and playful. This EP shows both sides of the coin for me too: my cynicism for love and also succumbing to it despite being cautious to begin with.”
