Today, with over half a billion streams to his name and as one of Spotify’s Pop Rising Artists to Watch in 2024, Alexander Stewart has released his debut album bleeding heart. The album features 12 tracks, including “broken by you,” which was hailed as one of Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need To Know.” You can listen to bleeding heart here and watch the visualizer for “how dare you” here, which made its broadcast premiere yesterday on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
“This album is a combination of the last 3 years of my life, and making it was truly the most beautiful, exciting, painful, trying, insane thing I’ve ever done,” Alexander Stewart says. “I’m so excited for you to hear it and for these songs to help guide and lift you in whatever stage of the journey you are on! I can’t WAIT to be screaming these with you on tour.”
Written over the course of the last three years in between touring dates and amidst achieving international success, bleeding heart features Alexander Stewart’s massive hits “blame’s on me” and “i wish you cheated,” the latter of which launched with a viral TikTok campaign that saw over 45 million views and led to Alexander’s late-night TV debut performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (watch here).
Following his performance, the single became a Top 20 radio hit and broke into Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in Canada. In addition, the album includes “if you only knew,” which Alexander debuted an emotional performance of on Late Night With Seth Meyers last December and was also named one of Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need To Know.”
Earlier this week, Alexander kicked off his The Bleeding Hearts Tour, which spans 31 dates across North America, the UK and Europe. Previously, Alexander has toured with artists, as well as for his international headlining Blame’s On Me Tour, where he performed in front of his rapidly growing fan base that has expanded to over 500 million global streams, 300 million views on YouTube and 130 million likes on TikTok.
