In his latest release, 'Malika', Alex Base (short for Alexander Basov)
swirls into a cloud of emotions with a sense of calm.

Alex, a jack-of-all-trades musician (producer, composer, singer, and bass wizard), pours his heart out into the song, and it shows. 'Malika' follows the rise and fall of a relationship that begins with hope and ends with heartbreak. The lyrics walk you through that familiar spiral: the unexpected spark, the starry-eyed honeymoon phase, and then the sudden hollow space left behind.
There’s no dramatic climax, no explosive bridge, just a much-needed let out of some long-overdue feelings. The acoustic feel and mellow pacing in the song's production give the feelings room to breathe and truly connect.
'Malika' doesn’t try to be grand like your typical heartbreak songs. It’s intimate, thoughtful, and honest all the way through.
'Malika' is an alt-pop therapy song for the romantically burnt out.
