Alex Clare new single/video "Treading Water".
Following the enormous worldwide success of his recent hit single, “Too Close”, as featured in the multi-million dollar Microsoft internet explorer ad, Alex Clare has his new single “Treading Water”, released on August 13th through Island Records. Sales of “Too Close”(1.5 million and counting) exploded in all territories that carried the advert and that looks set to continue as the campaign is now being extended in new countries including France and Brazil. Both “Too Close” and “Treading Water” singles are taken from Alex’s hugely acclaimed debut album ”The Lateness Of The Hour”. “Too Close” peaked at #4 in the UK chart where it remained in the top 10 for 5 weeks, selling over 400,000 copies in the UK alone, while the accompanying video racked up over 12 million views. The album, released to widespread acclaim a year earlier, has now shipped 60,000 in the UK while Alex also recently made a triumphant return to the UK live stage with a triumphant sell-out gig at the Scala in London
