Youtube sensation Alex Aiono continues to delight his fans across all platforms with his saccharine, charming vocals that bless the ears as much as they fill the heart; this time, he returns to the mainstreams charts with his song ‘Be Alright Forever’, an uplifting, sugary pop tune that showcases why Alex Aiono is one of the most daring heartthrobs in the music industry right now.

Sweeping his listeners off the floor with a dashing, smooth love song about assuring his lover through all the challenges and obstacles, Aiono utilizes the resounding depth of his voice to great effect. The track holds all the pleasant hallmarks of a contemporary pop electric composition; from the light drum machines to the sharp tapping of the synth, the number is brimming with energy and wide-eyed optimism, something that is demonstrably lacking in modern music nowadays. 

It could be perceived as an ode to the music of the 00s, where romantic pop melodies dominated the charts, or even the early work of Justin Bieber, whose rosy, innocent, cherubic voice led an entire generation of young girls to express their adoration. Alex Aiono is already respectful of his influences, having begun his career on Youtube, ‘remixing’ and covering popular hits whilst embedding his own flair and charisma into his mix. Last measured, his channel had collected over 88 million views and he was considered to be one of the most successful music artists on the platform. He continues to make a splash on Youtube, but as he proves here, he is not afraid to test out the waters in the mainstream business, and bare his heart to profess his love through the medium of song. 

The specificity of his lyrics is astounding as if each and every sentence has been plucked from his pool of experience. From references to Spanish Harlem to Canyon Lake, he instills a sense of time and place to all his musical productions, and that is what has kept his career on Youtube soaring so bright and high. Speaking on the highs of this year, he says, “This has been my favorite tour, my best tour, best outcome, best fans, best time of my life, and it’s still not going to be the end of 2019. We have so much more coming, music and stuff you would never even expect me to do. It’s going to be absolutely insane.” Whether or not these songs signal an impending album is up in the air, but if anything, his fans should be pleased to accompany him on this wonderful journey.
