18-year-old Surrey teen Alex O’Connor, a.k.a. Rex Orange County, started out as a drummer, but over time he also learned to play keys and guitar. Add to this his sugar-coated voice and you have a one-man band.

He makes the kind of sophisticated, soul and jazz infused pop, that The Style Council produced in the 80’s and The Cardigans in the 90’s. As its title gives away, Sunflower is the perfect tune for the sunny days that lie ahead of us, meteorologically speaking.
