Greetings dearest gentle readers and music fans. Let’s give a warm welcome to French artist Alex Star. On 20th May, a single called “I’m going to the beach”. Let’s take a closer look at this brilliant song

The song opens with a Latin melody and a very chill vibe. The intro is very exciting and foot-tapping. The song’s theme is quite simple. The song is about a persona who simply wants to go to the beach and then goes to the beach (”I am going to the beach oh yeah”). The words let you know how excited this character is about going to the beach

Star wrote the lyrics one summer when he went to the Beach in Greece! As he walked to the beach to enjoy the waves and cocktails, he couldn’t help but think about some music. So he started writing down the key notes, ambiance, and sentences on small Post-it notes. He then chose short versions in various moods, such as electro, dance, Latin, soft synth, or otherwise. He then created multiple variations of that single, which we are enjoying now

This song was so refreshing and exciting. It has the perfect summer vibe. I don’t like going to the beach but, listening to this character excited to go to the beach, I wanted to go too. The song transported me to the beach, drink in hand, enjoying the ocean breeze. Alex Star is indeed a star and I can’t wait to hear more music from him
