Alex Wellkers’ new album ‘Reach the Stars’ set to be released on August 22, 2025, is nothing short of an independent tour de force. Entirely written, performed, produced, and arranged by the artist himself, the 13-track journey shows not only his impressive multi-instrumental skill but a refined artistic vision that balances emotional sincerity with sonic sophistication.

From the opening track, “We Knew It All”, Wellkers immediately sets the tone, introspective, melodic, and rhythmically crisp. The production feels open and breathable, with each instrument given room to shine. This clarity runs throughout the album, where beats are carefully crafted to support rather than overpower the vocals. Tracks like “Give Me the Keys” and “See Me There” offer infectious hooks and subtle layering, while more textured cuts like “Desert Island” and “Mystic Saint” dig into ambient storytelling.
Perhaps the most striking element of ‘Reach the Stars’ is its multilingual, multicultural range. “Alles nicht so schlimm” (in German) and “Tu es ici” (in French) lend a global touch to the album, showing Wellkers’ ability to craft emotional resonance beyond language barriers. The instrumentation, often led by piano and guitar with MIDI-driven drums, strings, and synths, always feels intentional, adding depth without clutter.

The heart of the album lies in its lyrical vulnerability. Tracks such as “She Will Say” and “What Are You Searching For” dive into themes of longing, reflection, and emotional growth. The closer, “Au Revoir,” wraps things up with quiet power—fitting for a project that feels like a goodbye letter to a past version of oneself.
