New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Alexander 23 celebrates the one-year anniversary of his debut album with the release of Aftershock (Deluxe), an expanded version featuring demos of emotional fan favorites.
Additionally,
Alexander has lined up a special performance at Ghengis Cohen in LA on July 15, where he will perform the album in its entirety.
Alongside tracks like "Hate Me If It Helps" and "Somebody's Nobody" is the original demo for "The Hardest Part," a heartstrings-pulling song about loss and memories. Also included are the early versions of "
Different" and "
What If" — a touching look at the road not traveled that became "Fall 2017." The demos distill the contemplative cuts down to their gut-wrenching essence and offer a new perspective on the album.
Following the release of the deluxe album,
Alexander will be hitting the road, performing at a number of festivals including Good Vibes Festival on July 22 in Malaysia and Fuji Rock Festival in Japan on July 28. Afterward, he will be supporting LAUV in Asia and then Renee Rapp as she treks across North
America this fall following the release of her debut album in August, which
Alexander also produced. Check out all the tour dates below.
The deluxe release follows the arrival of "I Wanna Live Forever" and "How to Drive," two powerful new tracks that offer a glimpse into Alexander's next project. While the singer-songwriter preps his sophomore set, there's still plenty to discover on Aftershock.

In the last few years alone, Chicago-bred artist
Alexander 23 has made a monumental leap from beloved bedroom-pop artist to Grammy-nominated hitmaker and phenomenally acclaimed musical force. Along with putting out his self-produced 2019 debut EP I'm Sorry I Love You and its 2021 follow-up Oh No, Not Again! — featuring "IDK You Yet," a massively evocative viral hit fast approaching platinum status — the increasingly in-demand producer earned a Grammy nomination for co-producing
Olivia Rodrigo's triple-platinum "good 4 u" and brought his energetic live set to sold-out headline shows across the country (a feat that recently scored him an opening slot on John Mayer's Sob Rock Tour 2022). Also a gifted multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, bass, drums, and piano,
Alexander will now make his much-anticipated full-length debut with Aftershock this summer — a wildly cathartic body of work that takes his songwriting and production to a bold new level, ultimately placing him at the forefront of artists adding a thrilling new intimacy to arena-ready alt-rock.
