Where to begin when talking about the musical magic that is Alex Warren? At such a young age and in a short amount of time, Warren has already accomplished so much. Take the release of his single "Ordinary" — released back in February of this year, the song has already amassed over a billion (yes... BILLION) streams on Spotify alone, and has spent several weeks on top the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States while also topping the charts worldwide in places like Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Warren's Cheaper Than Therapy Tour stopped by Columbus, OH and fans were absolutely given a night of their life.
Fans of all ages gathered in unison to get ready for Warren to take the stage, and as the lights lowered, a deafening scream of applause filled the air. Starting the night off with a song off his debut album, "You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1)", the venue was alive as fans were screaming the lyrics of "Burning Down" just as loud as Warren. This was an incredible sight to behold as some fans were waiting in line as early as 7:00am, and some even traveled as far away as Hawaii. Talk about dedication!
You could tell that this type of fan dedication was something that Warren did not take lightly as he split the crowd down the middle to take a photo with a fan that must have been no older than 6. After the quick photo-op, Warren bellowed into "Catch Your Breath" and the night continued on. Almost every fan in attendance was on their feet the entire night and singing along as if their life depended on it. Unfortunately, the night eventually came to a close and Warren ended his set with his hit song, "Ordinary", to which several hundred fans erupted into waterfalls of tears. This superstar's power to invoke such emotion is something that should be studied by every other artist in the music world. If you ever get the chance to experience this type of magic live, make sure you do so!
