CRITICAL PRAISE FOR YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT, KID
“ the year’s biggest pop chart breakout so far…”
“[‘Ordinary’ is a] brooding ballad…which explores an extraordinary rush of romantic love and spiritual connection.”
“Warren’s luminous voice and lit-from-within songcraft contribute to an unmistakable hit in which [Warren] seems able to leap from unutterable sadness to unmitigated joy.”
-VARIETY
“[‘On My Mind’ is a ] …somber, likable folk-pop sing-along…”
“...[On ‘Burning Down’] Warren’s deep, husky voice frees himself from the blame of an unhealthy relationship over a stomping piano beat.”
-Billboard
“...[a] catalogue of folk-tinged anthems…”
“...a continuation and more complete version of his Chapter 1 LP”
-Rolling Stone
“[‘Ordinary’ is] A stark and brooding ballad”
“... combines the moody theatrics of early Sam Smith with the highly buffed textures of Imagine Dragons”
- LA Times
“Alex Warren is anything but ‘Ordinary’”
-SPIN
“..a soaring, sing-along chorus, and a knee-slapping backwoods rhythm, ‘Bloodline’ is a rousing slice of Americana riding the line between the late-aughts bluegrass breakout and today’s pop-country resurgence.”
“Alex Warren & Rosé get lost in memories [on ‘On My Mind’]…nostalgic ballad about being unable to let go after a breakup.”
-UPROXX
(Los Angeles, CA) - Today, singer-songwriter Alex Warren releases his new album You’ll Be Alright, Kid via Atlantic Records - listen here. Alongside the album, Alex Warren drops the music video for the highly anticipated song,“Eternity” - watch here.
You’ll Be Alright, Kid features all the songs on You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), released last fall, alongside 11 entirely new tracks. Amongst these new tracks are Warren’s smash hit “Ordinary,” “Bloodline (with Jelly Roll)” and“On My Mind (with ROSÉ)”. The majority of the album is co-written by Alex Warren, Cal Shapiro, Mags Duval and produced by Adam Yaron. While You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focuses on dealing with grief, You’ll Be Alright, Kid turns the page with healing, resilience and optimism.
Warren’s earth-shattering hit, “Ordinary,” was released in February to rave reviews, counting over 1 billion streams to date, and topping the charts. The smash hit spends its sixth week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Ordinary” also spent five weeks as #1 across the Global 200 and Global 200 Ex US. The single is currently #1 at Top 40 Radio, and Hot AC Radio, holds the largest US radio audience. “Ordinary” was not only Warren’s first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it also makes him the first male soloist to earn an initial Hot 100 #1 this year.
“Ordinary” also spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the UK chart. This marks the longest running No.1 in the UK by a US male solo act in OCC chart history and the longest running No. 1 of the 2020s. It recently returned to #1 for its 13th week. In Australia, "Ordinary" at its 16th week is officially the third longest running #1 single on the ARIA charts. This marks the longest running by a lead international act, and the second longest running #1 for this decade. Warren now tallies over 2.4 billion career streams to date.
Earlier this week, Alex Warren performed at BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge a cover of Hall and Oates “Rich Girl” and hit single “Ordinary.” Warren made his award show debut with a powerful performance at the 2025 American Music Awards - watch here. Earlier this year, Warren also made his late night debut with a performance of "Ordinary" on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - watch here. He also performed the song with Ed Sheeran at a local bar around Coachella - see his Instagram post here.
