Audacy Pop stations across the country are excited to shine a light on the best emerging artists in music with LAUNCH. Meet Alex Warren, a social media sensation who is bursting beyond any platform to become a major music star and the latest Audacy’s LAUNCH artist, presented by Macy’s.
At the age of 24, Warren has already managed to jump from YouTube standout, to TikTok icon, and now onto the charts. His song, "Ordinary," is anything but, with vivid romantic imagery and a thunderous melody that has made it a monstrous love song, following in the footsteps of Warren's songwriting idols.
"'Ordinary' means a lot to me," Warren tells us. "It's a song, I feel like, if I heard it from someone else I would have been like, 'dang I wish I wrote that.'"
"So many people take different things away from the song. Honestly, it's just a love song. It's something really strong, and I feel like with your partner you feel a certain way, and I think a lot of people are resonating with that."
Warren wrote "Ordinary" about his wife, a love he calls "really rare" for this generation. The trauma of losing loved ones and finding himself in hard times is part of what has inspired Warren, with "Ordinary" being about the love that has been with him along the way.
"It's really cool to be an Audacy LAUNCH artist," Alex reveals. "Growing up, I would listen to the radio on my way to school and so many things. And the fact that I can be that for other people going to school, or to work, and they get to hear these songs I wrote, which is really really sick."
