Canadian singer-songwriter releases an emotional new track alongside a captivating music video
Canadian singer-songwriter Alexander Stewart is back with his latest single, "Leave Me In The Dark," a heart-wrenching track that highlights the emotional fallout of a toxic relationship. Released on April 5th, 2023, the single follows the massive success of "Blame's On Me," which has amassed over 50 million streams. "Leave Me In The Dark" showcases Stewart's pitch-perfect vocals and impactful lyrics, revealing the next chapter in the artist's personal and musical journey.
Alexander candidly shares the inspiration behind the song: "Leave Me in the Dark is a song I wrote about a really toxic relationship. At the end of it, instead of ending with closure, I was completely ghosted, and it killed me."
The music video for "Leave Me In The Dark," released alongside the single, features enigmatic shots of Alexander and a couple struggling to communicate. With one partner consistently blindfolded, they attempt to navigate an empty house as the power imbalance between them grows. Alexander is also blindfolded momentarily, symbolizing the betrayal he felt as a result of the breakdown of his own relationship.
In addition to the release of his new single, Alexander Stewart has also announced his upcoming UK and European tour. Kicking off on May 5th, 2023, at The Garage in Glasgow, the 13-date tour will include stops in Manchester, London, Birmingham, and Bristol before culminating in a headline set at The Great Escape Festival on May 12th. The European leg of the tour will begin on May 14th, with performances in Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
Stewart's rapid ascent to stardom began with his viral cover of Camila Cabello's "Havana" on YouTube. Since then, he has amassed a loyal following of over 2 million subscribers and over 200 million streams across all platforms. His unique brand of sky-scraping pop music has captured the attention of tastemakers and fans worldwide. In a testament to his rising fame, Charlie Puth recently invited Alexander to support him on his US tour this summer.
