Following the release of his “pocket protector” earlier this year, Alexander Biggs is back with his latest single “don’t mean a thing”.
With a more cheerful beat, “don’t mean a thing” focuses on how the small things can create overwhelming emotions when one decides to put all their attention on it. Being reflective is something Alexander navigates well and he lyrically captures the subtle yet powerful emotions that arise when trivial and inconsequential evolve into something more than they are.
Opening witha bright, almost whimsical melody that belies the introspective nature of its lyrics. Alexander’s gentle vocals float over the soft murmur of guitars and drums. Like the lyrical content, Alexander’s voice and music pull one into a space where the small changes have a big impact. Unlike the lyrical content, these small changes do mean something. It showcases Alexander’s ability to not only create a picture with his lyrics, but how he uses his vocals and the instruments to create a picture of everyday life and its emotional overthinking.
Alexander Biggs continues to prove himself as a pro of blending heartfelt storytelling and “don’t mean a thing” is proof of his ability to turn the mundane into the profound.
