Talking about long distance relationships, ALEX BENT + THE EMPTINESS starts the year with new single, ‘2Sides’, an euphoric blend of mixing his own twist of alt-rock nostalgia with current trends of hip-hop.

Made in isolation, Bent wrote and recorded the song at The Store, a community-run underground recording studio kept at an undisclosed location.

Produced with Santhoshblur,
‘2sides’ is the first taste from Canadian singer/songwriter’s upcoming sophomore album and acts as a bridge between his new sound and his 2019 debut, ‘Baby’.
