With a liveliness and uplifting melody that’s bound to have you bouncing, staring into the midnight sky, and dancing your night away, Antony Alexander has resurrected a style and emotion that only house music in the early 10s really brought to life. It’s deeply emotional, but in a way that’s warm, fun, and uplifting rather than being soppy in any which way. This wouldn’t feel out of place on the radio, a dance floor, or even if you encountered it in the top 40 charts. It’s a perfectly pieced together and produced piece of contemporary dance music that’s hard not to find yourself engrossed within. There’s a simplicity to the lyrics that make them all that much more relatable, anchoring themselves on an expression and sentiment that’s universally appealing.
If you want to feel that deep euphoria in the middle of the night while you’re with the people you care about the most, Antony Alexander captures the purity of that moment with such clarity and joy on ‘I Ain’t Coming Back’.
