There’s an unmistakable honesty to Alexandra King’s music, a directness that comes from a life lived fully. The Irish-American songwriter, known for her powerful vocals and sharp wit, has just released her new single, “Freckles (In An Old Pub)”. This track isn’t just a song—it’s a snapshot of a particular kind of night out in Ireland: all good conversation, creamy pints, and fleeting connections that leave a lasting memory.
It’s a welcome return for King, whose journey back to music was anything but certain. After a severe spinal cord injury threatened to take away her ability to perform, she fought her way back. The fact that she’s now sharing new work, produced by Dove Award-nominee Evan Sieling and mixed by Craig Alvin (Kasey Musgraves), isn’t just a career milestone—it’s a testament to her remarkable resilience.
With “Freckles (In An Old Pub)”, King leans into her heritage and her own story, crafting something that feels genuinely human. It’s a track that captures that special feeling of a serendipitous evening, reminding us that some of the best moments aren’t planned—they just happen.
