NEW ALBUM: REX ORANGE COUNTY | WHO CARES?

Alexander O'Connor better known as Rex Orange County, released his fourth studio album “Who Cares?” The new album comprises 11-track and serves as his first album in three years. It takes a brave person to label their album ‘Who Cares?’ – the kind of title that can come back to bite someone on their fourth trip around the full-length block. With an assured, confident sonic embrace, that’s not something Rex Orange County – aka Alex O’Connor needs to worry about. An orchestral swell puts wind underneath the wings of a record that often feels like sinking back into the squishy musical marshmallow. Opener and lead single ‘Keep It Up’ and its positive twist on self-doubt and insecurity is the perfect introduction to an album that understands that introspective thought is never one-dimensional. Tyler, The Creator team-up "Open A Window" is worth the price of admission alone, while ‘Worth It’ skips through self-doubt with a spring in its step. An album that’s definitively Rex Orange County, but welcoming enough to be for everyone, ‘Who Cares?’ is personal but oh so relatable. His last major release was 2019’s "Pony," which debuted at the No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. He did, however, drop a live EP in 2020 after his tour was cut short with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting in May, Rex Orange County will kick off an extensive worldwide tour in support of "Who Cares?." After hitting up both North America and the UK and Ireland, he’ll play a series of shows across Australia and New Zealand.
