British artist/tunesmith Rex Orange County has been buzzing for some time now, and the noise is likely to get louder with his new single, "10/10," the first fruit of his fresh deal with RCA. Rex (born Alexander O'Connor), a UMPG writer, has racked up 1 billion streams to date, not to mention half a million likes on the socials. Accompanied by a playfully low-key video (which nonetheless features dancers, a guitar solo and a light show; see below), this slice of melodic pop provides an inkling of Rex's considerable gifts. Stay tuned for album details.
Meanwhile, we're wondering if the light bulbs in our office are making us look orange?
