Alex Reeseโs latest single, โRubber Waves (Radio Edit),โ steps into a time capsule and floats gently through the golden haze of 60s and 70s classic rock, only with a 2025 polish. Released on June 12, the track is a solo effort from the London-based musician, whose love for timeless sounds, like the one and only The Beatles and, of course, Blind Melon, shines brightly across the entire three-minute ride. Recorded in his home studio, the track gives off an intimate feel that vibes with Reeseโs self-written and self-produced vision.
โRubber Waves (Radio Edit)โ opens with a confident drumbeat that immediately lays the groundwork for the warm, breezy atmosphere to follow. As the track unfolds, Reeseโs melodic, flowing guitars begin to shimmer and ripple, like sunlight refracting through slow-moving water. His tender, airy, and soft vocals then float in, providing a gentle contrast to the more percussive backbone. His voice lingers, dreamlike, letting the listener sink deeper into the trackโs serene rhythm.
While the song was initially inspired by a piano idea, the guitar work here leads the emotional charge. He sings with a therapeutic patience, and together with the calm yet kinetic drum patterns, it balances between motion and stillness.
Though not driven by a specific story or narrative, Reese recreates the vibe and mood of the music he loves. โRubber Waves (Radio Edit)โ a soft-spoken ode to classic rock sensibilities that makes you want to sit back, close your eyes, andโas Alex puts itโโenjoy the flight.โ Check it out on Spotify.
