Alexis opens with the enthralling Sweet Angel, a warm pop song with an attractive landscape that is memorable and an epic work of genius. Rule The World feat. Danielle Steers boasts a flavorful duet with an incredible array of instrumentation, adding to the organic quality of the album. The upbeat charmer entitled Road To Redemption is a telling song with a meaningful theme.
Alexis is a masterpiece! Gerred’s debut undertaking is filled with a vibrant flavor that serves as a lesson for both musicians and lovers of quality music. In an era where much of what exists on the mainstream is artificial, Alexis brings a timeless classic to the music world with a sound that can be embraced by generations to come. http://www.alexisgerred.co.uk/
