Alexandra Alden

In 2021, Alexandra Alden performed at the Heerenhuys to mark the release of her second album ‘Leads to love’. Currently, Alden is putting the finishing touches to her new album ‘When is it too late’ on which she mixes indie, folk and pop music.

Her songs are characterised by a hint of Mediterranean mysticism and poetry, while at the same time being worldly or even raw.

About her work, Alden says:

'I always listened a lot to artists like Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell, they definitely influenced me. I give their classic folk sound my own twist thanks to my Mediterranean background, combined with the inspiration I get from all the other places I have visited in my life.'

On her upcoming album ‘When is it too late’, you will hear songs that deal with questions that are important to her such as ‘Who am I? Where am I going? When is it ever too late to take a new path?'

The Maltese-born singer has been living in the Netherlands for some time, where she graduated from the jazz department of Rotterdam's Codarts in 2018.

She has so far released two full-length albums and an EP; The Curious Child' (2013), Wild Honey (2018) and Leads to Love (2021) and has won awards both locally and internationally for her songwriting and cultural achievements. In addition, Alden has brought her music to live audiences in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, the UK, Malta and the US.
