EP Review: Alex Stern 'Midnight Bandits'

Singer-songwriter Alex Stern presents a collection of original songs inspired by personal moments on her latest EP, Midnight Bandits, which was released on June 9th.  A short, but very enjoyable listen, the EP contains four songs that showcase Stern's dynamic vocals and relatable songwriting.

In addition to current single, “Runaways,” the EP contains "Already Gone,” a mid-tempo ballad about a love that she is trying to keep herself from missing, “Midnight Bandits,” a carefree tune about what happens when the lights go down “stealing kisses, kings and queens shooting whiskey Crowns” and standout track "White Picket Fences.” A song that both sonically and lyrically will tear at your heart, “White Picket Fences” tells the story of something you, or someone you know, probably has lived (or is living): a relationship that from the outside looks perfect, but as we are all well aware, looks can be deceiving. “Let’s pretend this house is a home…don’t fix it when it’s broken as long as it’s pretty from out on the street/So we keep on keeping our messes behind the white picket fences.”

While there are many females releasing new music, there is something different about Stern – she has the ability to connect the listener with songs that genuinely make you feel something. Moonlight Bandits leaves you anxious to hear more while sensing a bright future ahead.
