About Alex Clare

Alexander George Clare is a British singer and songwriter based in London, UK. His debut album, The Lateness of the Hour, was released in the UK on 8 July 2011 on Island Records and was produced by Mike Spencer and Major Lazer. Following the disappointing performance of the album, Clare was dropped from his record contract with Universal Island in the UK. I just loved it." That drew the young Clare to blues and soul artists such as Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder, which eventually led to interests in drum and bass, dubstep and UK garage.
