Harris Hits the Road This October to Spread the Good News
“‘BETTER’ is more than a love song—it’s a gentle reminder that kindness and compassion have the power to change the world. I hope it inspires people everywhere to ask themselves, ‘What can I do to make life better for someone else?’ I’ve admired Conya’s sultry, beautiful voice for some time now, and when we began working on this track, she was one of the first persons who came to mind. She’s a true musical genius with an incredible soul, and I’m deeply grateful she agreed to collaborate. Her presence on this song elevates it to another level. And this is only the beginning—‘BETTER’ offers just a glimpse into my forthcoming album, a project that promises to deliver the feeling of a lifetime, spanning a myriad of feel-good emotions. Crafted with GRAMMY Award-winning producers and arrangers D. Arcelious (Swagg) Harris—my brother—and Brandon Williams, along with other brilliant creators, this body of work blends beloved classics, contemporary gems, and original compositions. I like to call it The Soul of America Listening Experience. I’m beyond excited for the world to hear and feel what we’ve created.” – Alex Harris
A new generation is creating new iterations of classic soul music, but few artists have generated such immediate excitement as Alex Harris. His voice—a gritty, full-throated sound reminiscent of soul music legends, coupled with a radiant spirit and a completely natural authenticity– is winning the hearts and minds of all who see him. Even at this early stage he has already performed for President Biden and President Obama’s Inaugural Galas. Steve Cropper, who as musician, songwriter and producer has worked with legendary Memphis soul greats, gave Alex his “thumbs up” after a joint writing session in Nashville. Add to this Alex Harris’ intriguing life story and multi-faceted achievements as musical artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, and you have a very special artist. Alex Harris’ new single “Better” is a sneak peak and listen into his forthcoming and anticipated second release for Shanachie Entertainment expected for release in early 2026.
Harris’ label debut Back To Us was recorded-in-Nashville and is a stunning 11-song collection featuring sparkling originals and a handful of impressive covers with special guests Monophonics, Ruby Amanfu and Sam Ashworth. It is a major statement of the enduring relevance of classic R&B in a contemporary context.
Harris shares, “My calling and mission are to utilize my God-given gift of music to inspire humanity. I believe the shared experience of the Gospel Church is part of the ‘secret ingredient’ to authentic soul music. The essence of this album is imbued with the intention to uplift, inspire, and heal. It’s a celebration of life and the myriad emotions we all experien
“Alex Harris’s voice is a movement!! His voice encompasses so much passion that deeply touches my soul!!! His music is ageless and will still resonate the same way 20 years from now! I am very honored to have collaborated with him on this amazingly beautiful song!”
