After it’s long-awaited arrival, Rex Orange Counties newest album ‘WHO CARES?’ has finally graced our ears after being dropped earlier this week. Filled with a light pep in its step, the album is a welcomed ounce of fun for all listeners as we enter springtime. Alongside his reputable light spirited tradition Rex (his real name being Alex O’Connor) shared with us a taste of juxtaposition with the inclusion of the great Tyler The Creator on the second track of the album ‘OPEN A WINDOW’.
Keeping true to his Alt/indie essence, the album acts as a flowing familiarity. With previous albums, ‘Pony’ being released in 2019, ’Apricot Princess’ being released in 2017 and ‘Bcos U Will Never B Free’ being released in 2016 we have been transported on a consistent journey. It is always a pleasure to listen to an artist’s discography that melds beautifully throughout the years, which is something that Rex Orange County expresses masterfully.
Favourable tracks from ‘WHO CARES?’ include ‘AMAZING’, ‘ONE IN A MILLION’ and ‘THE SHADE’. Filled with feel good anthems, catchy guitar licks and beautiful melodies, Rex Orange County has truly elevated his already original sense of musical self within this album, and we can’t wait to see him perform these effortless tracks live and in person over the course of 2022!
