We had the pleasure of interviewing Alexander Nate over Zoom video!

Virginia-based singer, songwriter and music video director, Alexander Nate, is turning the pages of his own story into a cinematic visual, with the release of \u201cSave This Dance For Me.\u201d When it comes to Alexander\u2019s music, he\u2019s always digging deeper, focusing on writing in an autobiographical style about personal, but relatable, moments in life. Alexander\u2019s main focus has always been to create a catalogue of in-depth music, as a visual and emotional experience, that introduces fans to a world they can immerse themselves in.

Coming fresh off the release of \u201cbluejay,\u201d which began telling the story of his current relationship and how they found each other, we\u2019re now moving on to the next chapter with \u201cSave This Dance For Me.\u201d An inspiring, romantic number about nostalgia and love, Alexander states; \u201cIt\u2019s about the time I met her, asking her to save this dance for me before the end of the night. Hold on to every moment.\u201d He elaborates; \u201cMoving into the second verse I\u2019m expressing to her, if things become hard, if you remember anything from the time we have together, could you save THIS dance for me?\u201d With his powerful vocals piercing through your ears in the best way possible, Alexander sings \u201cPut both your hands on my shoulder. If it all fades away in the morning, and you save one memory. Could you save this dance for me?

Born and raised in Virginia, Alexander Nate\u2019s signature sound combines Motown influences with modern pop elements to create a smooth sound that dances between Soul and R&B. \u201cMy mom would always play old-school legends around the house when I was young. Sam Cooke. Nina Simone... My mom is from Ethiopia, so when I grew up\u2014a lot of Ethiopians were [listening to the same music]. Songs from Al Green, all those. So when she came to America, those songs were what she was listening to and played for me growing up\u201d he tells DJBooth. With over 2M streams across all platforms, Alexander\u2019s vocals are the center. of attention on all of his tracks, simultaneously smooth and raspy, fitting perfectly over powerful 808s and light instrumentals. Alexander\u2019s releases have been highly anticipated by his growing base of dedicated fans following the success of his EP RedCanaryin 2018; which RESPECTMagazinereferred to as an EP \u201c... that paints a vivid picture about love lost, family, and hopes for a lost soul."

Alexander states \u201cWhile my previous project reflected the stories of my past, \u201cbluejay\u201d and \u201cSave This Dance For Me\u201d have both allowed me to depict what\u2019s been going on with me in the present. The ups and the downs, learning who to trust, and navigating through love. It\u2019s been therapeutic.. like catching up with a friend you haven\u2019t spoken to in a while\u201d
