Today Alex Kelly tells us about the title track of her debut solo album "Orange Circle". You might recognize Alex as the singer in Robby Takac (Goo Goo Dolls) sideband Amungus. Now you can hear her all on her own! Here is the story:

Orange Circle was one of the songs that Kelsey [Warren of pILLOW tHEORY fame] and I wrote while staying in this really quirky hotel in Chelsea NY. We wanted to make a song on the album that everyone could relate to, like a classic feel-good summertime song. I really enjoy dancing, so this song is right up my alley.

We would just play the rhythm track and jump on all the beds. Kelsey found inspiration from bands like ESG and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, while I was inspired by more of a B52's vibe. We had a blast!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album and find out what happened at the quirky hotel right here!
