In a short amount of time, LA native Alex Bloom’s music has gotten some impressive music fan attention.

The day “Elevator” was released it was immediately added to Spotify’s Chill Vibes Playlist (playlist has over 900K followers). The song is quickly approaching 225,000 Spotify plays. His 2017 “One More Shot” song became a “quiet” YouTube hit with over 2 million cumulative streams and his debut album Blue Room already has over 450,000 plays on Spotify.

Earlier this year, in the midst of working on his new material, Bloom’s song “Evanesce” was featured in the Netflix Original movie “The Open House.” An exciting moment for an indie artist who runs his own label.

Alex has received early critical praise for his songwriting and complex vocal arrangements. “Elevator” is just a foreshadow of Bloom’s sophomore album, set for release in 2019. Today we’re excited to premiere the Stuffed Animals remix of “Elevator” – streaming below! The remix stays true to the low-key and fluid original, while injecting some really nice touches and elements to put a new spin on it.
 
In his own words:

“I wrote a song about the existential elevator ride of life. I think it’s something everyone thinks about all the time. My creative inspiration came from this little white Casio keyboard with preset beats that I set to ‘Rock’. Then I started with this guitar riff and immediately noticed the shape and movement of the chord I used, kind of looked like an elevator.”
