Rex Orange County, aka 20-year-old Alex O'Connor, is back with a new song to celebrate Valentine's Day. ‘New House’ is the first new material since October 2017 and arrives following a breakout year for the Surrey singer-songwriter that saw him headline tours across North America and Europe, as well as perform at a number of the world's most renowned festivals, including Coachella, Camp Flog Gnaw, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Primavera Sound and Summer Sonic.
‘New House’ finds Rex at his most open and honest, divulging his aspirations and a reflecting on his life over the last 12 months.
Speaking to the song further, Rex penned a heartfelt letter to his fans;
Hey. I want to say thank you to everyone that is here for me now and to those who are still here from before. Life is weird and it seems like everyone has a difficult time in one way or another. The greatest things always seem to come with a level of confusion that makes it easy to question whether anything matters….. with that being said, I must confirm that I still love doing this and that I’m beyond grateful for all the support I’ve been shown. Life is good. I’m happier today than I was for the majority of last year. Thea is my valentine….and whether you’re in love today or not, this one is for you, from me. It’s called ‘New House’.
Happy valentines
Rex
