Alex Frew says of his debut EP: "I want people to feel a little bit bigger than themselves while listening to the project. I've always gravitated towards songs that made me feel boundless, and I sincerely hope that this collection can convey those emotions."

From heartache, self-growth, discovering one's self and the long journey to adulthood, Cobalt brings a striking array of lyrics to the EP that will resonate with his continuously growing fanbase. A distinct urgency to live life in the moment and appreciate the present is a pillar on the EP, bringing forth the importance of not getting caught up in things outside of one's control.

Cobalt, comprised of six songs, is truly a remarkable debut for the young artist, showcasing his mature perspective and raw self-examination. Emotion and truth speak volumes in this EP and is done in a beautifully dark and dreamy production.

"Cobalt is the color I associate to all of emotions and the entire sonic palette of the EP," Alex Frew adds of the title. "Dealing with introversion, depression, substance abuse, and search for romance. The color Cobalt represents the moody, blue emotion that inspired the creation of this project, and has stuck with me for the past several years."

Alex Frew has already pulled in impressive global support with Mahogany Sessions, BBC BRISTOL, BBC GUERNSEY and BBC Radio 1 as "Best New Pop."
