Inspired by the likes of Timbaland and Pharrell, Irish newcomer Alex Gough is the master of creating tracks that fill out the quota he has in his head. They have to be humorous, intuitive, and really, really great.

On ‘Pocket Change’, we’re treated to a 2000s-esque beat that came from Alex “messing around” one night, and a flow that suits Alex’s persona to a T. The lyrics are both clever and tongue in cheek, flitting between freestyles and ad libs that you can’t help but smile at.

On ‘Pocket Change’, Alex has said:

"I’ve been on a real early 2000s wave the last while, listening to a lot of my all time favourite producers like Timbaland, Pharrell and Chad Hugo so I guess that vibe just kinda fell out of me with 'POCKET CHANGE'. The last year and a bit has been so serious and dark, I’m just tryna have some fun for the next while, starting now."
