VIDEO OF THE DAY: “CARELESS” BY ALEX WINSTON

Who: Alex Winston
What: Rocks Off Concert Cruise
Where: The Jewel, Skyport Marina, East 23rd St. & FDR Dr.
When: Thursday, August 27, $20-$25, 7:00
Why: It would be more than careless of us not to tell you to hop on board the Jewel on August 27 to see Brooklyn-based Detroit native Alex Winston, who we’ve been telling you about for several years now. Winston writes catchy techno dance pop set apart by her sweet, high-pitched voice (reminiscent of Kate Bush) and infectious, lilting melodies that can go from intimate to epic in the blink of an eye. She’s readying This Ain’t Luck, her long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s King Con, for a November 13 release, and you can check out a three-track teaser of “The Day I Died,” “Down Low,” and “Dead End” here, while you can enjoy the video for “Careless” above. We’ve had quite the luck ourselves, being able to listen to the upcoming album in advance, and we can’t get it out of our head, with songs such as “Breakdown,” “Cruel,” and “The One That Stayed” swirling around playfully in our brain. Joining Winston on this Rocks Off Concert Cruise will be Friend Roulette and DJ Emmieshouse.
