Alex Hepburn’s track ‘Pain Is’ is just her and an acoustic guitar. Now, if possible, listen to the track below without looking at the screen, and only then see what Alex looks like. We’ve seen bands claim to have an old soul, but Alex has a voice that shows you can have experience and still be young. If you like to chase the chimera that is ‘soul’, you must surely find it here.

It’s a statement song, and while it won’t please people always looking for something new, anyone wanting a new voice in the line out of Joplin through Winehouse has found it. She was born in Scotland, grew up in France, and sounds like she’s come from the southern US. We don’t have any release dates yet.
