Alwyn Morrison, a former music journalist turned singer-songwriter, recently released two singles inspired by New York City.
His debut single, “The City,” captures the bittersweet romance of urban life, and his next single, “Lenox Hill,” touches on the ebb and flow of love in NYC. To promote his new songs, Morrison has been interacting with the NYC community to hear about their stories and why they love New York.
As a former music journalist, Morrison is quite familiar with the music industry. Spending years interviewing music legends like Esperanza Spalding and Jack Antonoff, he realized that he, too, has a voice he wants to share. His sound blends together energetic rock with pop, and he is not afraid to explore deeply personal storytelling, touching on the extreme highs and lows of living in New York City. Morrison is inspired by the emotional energy of the Cranberries and The Cars, as well as the pop aspects of artists like Oasis and Robbie Williams.
Morrison’s debut single, “The City,” is an electric guitar-driven anthem that is not just another love letter to New York. “The City” is about both heartbreak and the resilience of New Yorkers who are always fighting to stay in the city, and it is relatable for anyone who has lived in New York or just ever felt lost and lonely in a big city.
His second single, “Lenox Hill,” is a synth-pop ballad that switches up the pace compared to his debut single, showcasing his versatility as an artist. Named after the infamous Manhattan neighborhood, this emotional song is about a relationship arc, elegantly capturing both the exciting beginning of a relationship and the painful realization that a relationship has come to an end.
Alwyn Morrison is a promising artist in the NYC scene and has dedicated a lot of his time to connecting with New Yorkers, asking them about their experiences in the city and how it’s shaped them as people. All of his content is documented on his social media.
