The tour dates follow the release of ‘I Think You’re Great’, Alex’s latest single, which pays tribute to a cherished friend in her life. The track was co-produced by Sam Cromack and Daniel Hanson of Ball Park Music and is about the importance of checking in on each other, opening up conversations and supporting friends through thick and thin.
Premiering on triple j, ‘I Think You’re Great’ was added to full rotation and went on to receive support and praise from The Guardian, Junkee, NME, Music Feeds, Brooklyn Vegan and Refinery29 while also being championed across Spotify and Apple Music.
Alex heads to the US this March for SXSW and a run of dates with Nettwerk labelmates Jack River and Didirri. She will then return home to play the I Think You’re Great tour before heading to Byron Bay for Splendour in the Grass in July.
