But there’s an expiration date on Brooklynite Alexa Wilding’s “best known” distinction, as the siren singer is set to release her debut EP, a capstone paean to Laura Nyro, Sandy Denny, and the fleet of strong, gilded female songwriters they inspired.

Conceived and written by Alexa Wilding, and featuring contributions from Tim Foljahn - who has shared the helm with the likes of Cat Power, Thurston Moore and the late, great Townes Van Zandt - the release is a chilling whisper, a beautifully corralled song cycle that moves seamlessly from piece to piece, echoing years of history and decades more of possibility. It’s a charm that’s been noticed by everyone from Nylon Mag, to Page Six.

"Songbird ALEXA WILDING is a throwback to Josephine Baker and Joan Baez. Meet the new meaning of Old School." - NY POST, PAGE SIX
