Thank you Alexander by Mary Middlefield

Swiss singer/songwriter Mary Middlefield has released her new album “Thank You Alexander”. Middlefield’s songwriting ability just floats along this ethereal theme that blurs the line between the genres of indie-folk and pop. The track “Two Thousand One” (named after her birth year) is a breakup song filled with incredible instrumentation with such a powerful vibe of nostalgia underneath her lyrics. Middlefield sings “Oh why why why” when singing about her past abusive relationship, leaving me to absolutely melt into my chair. The upward chord progression that accompanies her singing is absolutely magical and I strongly recommend putting on your good pair of headphones when listening. The track “Band-aid” has a warm acoustic guitar with soothing vocals and purposeful lyrics.The piano in the background is sparse and feathery. “Thank You Alexander” is an introspective album, as it's sure to leave you staring out of the car window wondering where it all went wrong. Keep your head up champ.
