We first met Paul Alexander Low way back in August of 2020 upon the release of his debut single “Feel Your Heart Come Alive“. That song introduced a veteran Americana singer-songwriter who ditched the corporate world to pursue his musical dreams full time.

Since then, the prolific musician has released seven singles, an EP, and his well-received full-length debut album Sunshine After the Rain. His songs have been featured on the BBC and other radio stations around the world. Now, after a twelve month hiatus, Paul is back with new music planned well into next year. He is releasing each of the thirteen tracks from his next album as a single on the first Monday of each month.

Singer-songwriter Paul Alexander Low is passionate about Americana, but his music is extremely diverse, often exploring many styles and genres with no shackles. The artist has recently announced the release of his upcoming single, "It’ll Be Alright.” This new track captures his range of influences, blending the roots of folk music with genres such as rock and more. With powerful lyrics, insightful storytelling, and unforgettable melodies, “It’ll Be Alright” serves as a great introduction to Paul’s vision and versatility.

The ever so talented Paul Alexander Low is not just an artist. He is a person with a unique background story and someone who has been passionate about making great music for decades now. Paul is a singer and songwriter with a very rich musical history and a fascinating background. He is a true veteran of the music scene, and incredibly eclectic artist. 

His sound blurs the lines between a wide variety of genre definitions and sonic aesthetics, and he is always interested in pushing his creativity to experiment with new sounds and new ideas. From old-time rock and roll and country, down to modern electronic beats, anything goes! As an artist, Paul likes to stay quite busy, and he releases music as often as possible. 

The past year has been quite a challenge for most musicians and people of all walks of life. Some of us have been stuck indoors and unable to tour or record, while others simply did not have the opportunity to continue to make their beautiful music due to the hard-ships of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Thankfully, this is not the case of the amazing Paul Alexander Low, one of the most gifted artists of his generation.

Having forsaken the well-paid but soul-destroying drudgery of the corporate world for a poorly paid but soul-enriching life in music, born in Wiltshire and now living in Hampshire, Low follows a string of well-received singles and an EP with his debut album.

Things kick off in a Celtic-hued walking beat restrained anthemic style with a hope for a 'Better Life', one in which everyone lives in mutual tolerance and support one another, followed by the stabbing keys intro to the driving drum pattern of perhaps the thematic counterpoint feelings of 'Alien Race', written about his time at university in Birmingham and feeling a stranger in a strange land, another big melody with a soaring chorus built around a folk-pop sensibility that reminded me of a less blustery Alarm.

Paul Alexander Low is a UK-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has had a remarkable year. Regular readers of The Static Dive are well acquainted with the talented artist’s story. We have followed along as he launched what is now a successful solo career as a musician. Although his debut single arrived just last August, the song and all of those that have followed are the culmination of a lifelong passion for music which is finally coming to fruition.

Paul Alexander Low returns with the second single from his forthcoming debut solo album, “Sunshine After Rain.” Regular readers of The Static Dive are well acquainted with the British singer/songwriter. In August of 2020 he debuted with the single “Feel Your Heart Come Alive.” The song told the tale of a person who let fear hold them back from achieving their dreams. It also represented Low’s own personal leap of faith out of that fear. It was his first song after ditching the corporate world to pursue a life in music.

Paul Alexander Low has appeared on The Static Dive a number of times over the past year. In 2020, the talented singer/songwriter cut the cord that tied him to a life in the corporate world and dove into his dream. We have followed along on this journey as he reached fans across the globe with his deeply personal and heartwarming brand of Indie-Folk, Alt/Pop songs.

Yes, the single is called Shine. It’s really a pop song at heart but most importantly it’s a tribute to the NHS staff who have worked incredibly hard, in difficult circumstances and have put their own lives at risk to treat the thousands of people affected by COVID-19.

 Paul Alexander Low is a name familiar to many regular readers of The Static Dive. He first appeared on these pages in August upon the release of his debut single “Feel Your Heart Come Alive.” The song was a semi-autobiographical and motivational tale, inspired by Low’s own musical journey. After 25 years burning time in the corporate machine, Paul broke free and turned his sideline songwriting gig into a full time passion. Another single followed in September.

The Static Dive by BOB SMITH

​

By his own admission, UK singer/songwriter Paul Alexander Low is not your typical Pop star. However, in 2020 there is really no such thing. The music industry is a different animal than it was just a few years. In the era of digital distribution, playlists and blogs, it has shifted from a label-centric to an artist-centric business. In our modern media era, musicians like Paul can be any kind of artist they want to be.
