Alex Warren Is Cannier Than He Seems


The former Hype House member is climbing the charts with “Ordinary.”

His deep voice is capable and free from sharp edges; on Instagram and in press photos, he presents as a typical 20-something boy next door, with an auburn beard, blue eyes, and a wardrobe full of comfortable-looking earth-toned pieces. But he’s also building on the recent successes of Teddy Swims and Benson Boone, two fellow singers with big emotions and bigger voices who have yet to loosen their grip on the top of the charts after taking hold last year. Even more recent examples have struggled to maintain their early chart success, like Capaldi, who was touted as a male Adele after sending two songs to the top ten in 2019 and 2020, but has barely sniffed the Hot 100 since.
