*Los Angeles ACTOR and RECORDING ARTIST Kirk Alexander is soon to release his debut CD!!

Los Angeles actor and recording artist Kirk Alexander will soon be releasing his debut EP, which is described as "pop rock meets anthem rock meets EDM meets electronica", and will contain four tracks plus a bonus acoustic version of his song Ferris Wheel, the catchy and moving confessional song about not missing out on true love. "People wonder about the title of that song, because you won't find it anywhere in the lyrics", Kirk says. "There is a loose reference to a ferris wheel in the second verse, which is actually a literal reference that refers to a specific memory."

He goes on to say, "I really wanted to put my heart into this first

release, in a simple way that hopefully people will relate to. I
want to offer hope and encouragement to people that are in

need of God's unconditional love, and present a groove and

vocal melody that will penetrate to their bones!"

The release will also include the titles "Never Find Love", "All's

Forgiven Now", and "Only You Tonight". A music video for the

song "Never Find Love" will be released in the coming months.

Kirk goes on to say, "This has been a wonderful project to work

on. There is going to be something very special and unique that

I am going to do for my fans when the CD is released. I can't wait.

It's gonna be a big deal."

Here's what one of the critics recently had to say about Kirk's music -

"I have been a music journalist and "critic" for nearly 20 years

for a variety of magazines and websites, and have written

about thousands of artists and bands in that time in all

genres. I know authenticity and soulful artistry when I hear

it, and Kirk has it. His songs are melodic, infectious and

lyrically compelling, but it's the heart and spirit behind his

cool country-pop vibe that's ultimately most impressive."
