Ryan Alexander sounds ready for the world w/ release “Pickup Pickup”

Ryan Alexander is one of those creatives whose impact goes far beyond the music. Behind the scenes, Ryan has become one of the key players helping shift the Chicago music scene into a true music ecosystem. From the work he’s done with the Recording Academy and his leadership within that space, to continuing to develop his own artistry, perform, and consistently put quality work into the world, his journey over the last few years deserves recognition. This new release “Pickup Pickup” is another example of why. The record has great replay value. The ad libs hit, the energy feels natural, and there’s a playfulness to the bars and lyricism that makes the song genuinely fun to listen to without taking away from Ryan’s ability as an artist..

We do have one critique, It’s time for a project. Ryan Alexander has experienced and accomplished too much over these last few years for us not to hear what that journey sounds like across a complete body of work. Whether it’s a conceptual EP or a full length album, we want something that dives deeper into the artist, the executive, the leader, the behind the scenes work, and everything that comes with balancing those different worlds. Because it feels like Ryan has a lot more to say, and at this point, we want the full story. So run the record up, sit with the bars, and then come back and tell us, is it time for Ryan Alexander to give a full project? Because from where we’re sitting, the answer is yes. The foundation is already there. The story is there. The music is there. Now we want the body of work..

Take a listen and let us know what you think..
