Abraham Alexander returns to explore the tides of SEA/SONS (Off-Season Bonus)

The New Exchange with Ken Grand-Pierre

Corniness be damned: you just gotta love when good things happen to good people. My brother (and returning pod guest) Abraham Alexander is having a stellar year, all off the back of hard work and authenticity. His debut album, SEA/SONS is a contemplation on loss, redemption, and anguish, but also light, joy, and most importantly; hope. In a time of perpetual algorithms, AI tech, and diminishing attention spans, SEA/SONS almost acts like an antidote to the coldness of the world, offering a gentle reminder of “hey, it’s ok to sit with your feelings for a bit.” Throughout this episode, we explore the stories behind the songs off the album, along with delving into Abraham’s own life story (and of course, we chat about the fact that my brother has Gary Clark Jr AND Mavis Staples on his debut album).
