Silky shorts, pink kimono  A hint of curvy ass  Ice cube, metal straw Clink against the glass Birthmark, belly button  We’re falling into place  I’m tuned in, and I’m turned on The glowing of your face Tells me everything about you  Alexander, give me the look now Alexander, I’m on the hook now Sinking into your eyes by the poolside Until the drug is wearing off  Tequila shots, big veranda A blink, the curfew has passed  Haikus in the dawn  A drink again, a last  Floating on the surface Of a perfect hue Light is all around us Reflecting in the pool I guess I feel invincible with you  Alexander, give me the look now Alexander, I’m on the hook now Sinking into your eyes by the poolside I don’t think I can ever get enough  Alexander, give me the look now Alexander, I’m on the hook now Sinking into your eyes by the poolside Until the drug is wearing off  I want to be alone Alone with you  Let’s get us some privacy  Just want to go home Won’t you come  Home with me?  Alexander, give me the look now Alexander, I’m on the hook now Sinking into your eyes by the poolside I don’t think I can ever get enough  Alexander, give me the look now Alexander, I’m on the hook now Sinking into your eyes by the poolside Until the drug is wearing off

about

Following "Self-Checkout" comes "Alexander", the second joint single from Long Tall Jefferson and Odd Beholder. Their collab EP "Lost in Communication" will be released on May 5, 2023.

«Alexander» is an homage to flamboyant guys on the dancefloor, an ode to the ones who don’t take themselves too seriously. Cheers to all the brave gender benders who dare wear a pink kimono and silky shorts to a pool party!

Alexander caught the eyes of the main protagonist. Odd Beholder, usually known for her frail and high voice, is singing in the lower registers as her character slowly approaches the man she desires, playing with the notion of hunter and hunted, inverting stereotypical gender roles.

This song is not afraid of bouncy basslines, the hooks pop as Odd Beholder purrs over the funky instrumental with Long Tall Jefferson effortlessly turning into quite the bass player and haunting the choruses on vocoder. «Alexander» is just sexy enough to still be relatable and fun.

It is light and easy, danceable but also ready to comfort you on a sunny Saturday morning after you drank a little too much the night before. The haikus you improvised over some shots were not as great as you remember, but don’t beat yourself up about that, you had a great time. And sometimes, all you need is a gentle disco song to listen to while you watch your Alka-Seltzer dissolve in a glistening glass of water.
