Alexander Wolfe today releases his new single, the captivating "To Feel Love" - taken from his upcoming album 'Everythinglessness' out 16th January
Following the roaring response to his much-loved dual singles “The Toughening” and “The Softening” earlier this year and the emotive “Talk”, acclaimed London-born artist Alexander Wolfe continues the support for his long-awaited new album ‘Everythinglessness’, with his heartfelt new offering “To Feel Love”.
Channelling the same broad and emotive presence he has looked to conjure for his next full-length, “To Feel Love” finds him in one of his most euphoric guises to date. While the track starts in a warm and tender tone, by the chorus, we are enveloped in this soaring swirl of guitars and drums, elevated further by Wolfe’s own impassioned vocals performance.
Speaking about the new release, he said, "‘To Feel Love’ is a song about escapism. Escaping from your problems and boredom by going out and getting wasted, a trap I have certainly fallen into myself. It’s about that endless search for love and excitement and how it can lead you astray."
Written after a period of intense personal reckoning, including time spent in a mental health rehab facility in 2023, ‘Everythinglessness’ is Wolfe’s most emotionally resonant work to date, an album that unpacks what it means to be a man in a society that often demands silence and stoicism instead of softness and support.
Wolfe explains: “There’s a crisis around masculinity at the moment, you see it played out by grifters like Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson. I believe the way through isn’t by hardening, but softening. We need more examples of soft, strong men.”
“The Toughening”, a reflection of a young boy wrestling with his father’s rigid ideals, “man up, don’t show weakness”, while the closing track “The Softening” offers resolution and healing, where the protagonist redefines strength on his own terms. As Wolfe says, “They’re bookends. Two sides of the same coin. It’s about becoming the kind of man you choose to be — not the one you’re told to be.”
Wolfe’s voice channels the emotional resonance of Guy Garvey and Nick Cave, while his songwriting explores everything from grief and generational trauma to love, loss and survival.
This new album cycle began with “Talk”, a stirring single released earlier this year that wrestled with the harrowing fact that suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. Described as a “call to arms for lads to open up”, the track received widespread praise for its emotive weight and Wolfe’s rare ability to transform anguish into art.
“Just talk. To each other, to therapists, to the old lady on the bus. We have to break the shame. We need to stop seeing vulnerability as weakness.” — Alexander Wolfe
Raised in 1990s Woolwich, Wolfe has always been a chronicler of modern British life, blending observational grit with emotional depth. His ability to turn personal trauma into musical therapy has made him a cult favourite among those drawn to raw, unvarnished storytelling.
On ‘Everythinglessness’, Wolfe blends analogue textures, layered harmonies, and stark piano lines into a record that is as cinematic as it is intimate. Each track feels like a chapter in a coming-of-age story, delivering a journey through boyhood, masculinity, mental illness, grief, and ultimately, acceptance.
From the premature death of a parent to the slow unravelling of a relationship, Wolfe’s work carries us through the heavy moments that often go unspoken; particularly for young men. But in that silence, Wolfe has found a voice. One that does not shout, but speaks with clarity, empathy and truth.
