Alex Warren – You’ll Be Alright, Kid
Alex Warren’s meteoric ascent to household name status is nothing short of miraculous, and no artist is more deserving, as he celebrates the second instalment of You’ll Be Alright, Kid, an expansive and truly stirring body of work.
Having certifiably graduated from internet stardom to topping the charts with the breakout track of the year, Ordinary, Alex Warren remains 2025’s most exciting and impressive rising sensation, and this album evidences the depth of his craft. Featuring 11 brand-new tracks produced by long-time colleague Adam Yaron, including Ordinary, as well as glittering collaborations with Jelly Roll and ROSÉ, the record showcases all that is pure and evocative about Warren’s deep, rousing tone against a forceful acoustic backdrop. Each song on the first side melts into the next as a unified but still distinctive collection, moving with ease from the immense and hotly anticipated single Eternity into the earthier, more familiar lyricism of upbeat The Outside. This undulation in the pace of the music creates an unpredictability as the listener progresses that is in equal parts engaging and transcendent, impossible to ignore the album as a whole and comprehensive work of art.
Warren continues the lyrical thread that he wove within You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), detailing his own experiences with grief, tragedy, love and self-discovery in his characteristic, universally resonant fashion. His powerful reliability is only amplified by a newfound sonic grandeur that accompanies the second part of the album, with a deepened sense of confidence and optimistic strength evident in the compelling Never Be Far, alongside the motivational, up-tempo narrative of You Can’t Stop This. Juxtaposed with the intimacy of Everything, a soulmate’s plea for their lover to stay, and the introspective Who I Am, Warren constructs an emotional storyboard spanning a life well-lived, beautifully repackaging his own struggles and trauma into an inspiring triumph.
Though it may have initially appeared a challenge to outrun the success of Ordinary, undoubtedly this year’s monumental musical moment, Alex Warren seizes the opportunity at a seminal moment in his career to invite listeners into his world, evermore reverential and ambitious. A sense of peace washes over the audience as the first disc closes with On My Mind, to close out a worthy and assured addition to an extraordinary story.
