Pop Powerhouse Alex Sampson Releases New 'Hopeless Romantic' EP

After building widespread anticipation and appearing on America’s Got Talent, buzzing singer, songwriter, and vocal powerhouse Alex Sampson has shared his new Hopeless Romantic EP out via Warner Records.

The seven-track body of work illuminates the nuances of his artistry. Cinematic strings and bold piano set the tone for the project on opener “Prelude.” Elsewhere, “Friend Zone” tempers upbeat acoustic guitar with a steady and strong beat. He wrestles with ambiguity in a potential relationship on the hook, “Trying to get me out of the friend zone.” Then, there’s “Wallflower.” Pinned to a head-nodding bass line and slick electric guitar riff, it culminates on the chant, “Wallflower, I can’t look away.” Otherworldly synths and upbeat snaps propel the wistful “Beautiful (In A Dream)” where he compares new romance to the seasons, “We could be beautiful like autumn and the leaves.” On the finale “Angel,” dreamy piano underscores Alex’s heartfelt pledge, “For you, I’ll die.”

He heralded Hopeless Romantic with “If You Were My Girl” and “Pretty Baby,” and “Wallflower.” Alex performed all three songs during his run on America’s Got Talent. Watch his live performance of “If You Were My Girl” HERE, “Pretty Baby” HERE and “Wallflower” HERE. In addition to looks from Gold Derby, Parade, and more, NBC raved, “It's easy to fall fast for a vocalist when the elements align. That’s what happened during Alex Sampson’s audition on America’s Got Talent. You could sense the audience swooning.”
