Alex Cameron’s ‘Miami Memories’ EP Offers A Stripped-Down Glimpse Of His Musical Alter Ego

Alex Cameron understands the importance of getting into character. For each one of his records, Cameron adopts a different musical alter ego. For last year’s Miami Memory record, the Australian singer took on the guise of a sleazy failed entertainer. A year later, the musician is giving fans a taste of his unrefined Miami Memory songwriting sessions with a collection of demos.

Aptly tilted Miami Memories, Cameron announced the collection of demos with the stripped-down track “Gaslight.” About the original album as a whole, Cameron said his inspiration came from real lived experiences though they are still dominated by his alter ego: “When you listen to these songs, and you’re waiting for the twist, or the joke, or any kind of discomfort, I can assure you none of those things were there when I wrote them. These are true stories, of actual events. Specific but never esoteric. And graphic but never offensive. Miami Memory is the story of a couple balancing sex with contemporary family values…It’s my gift to my girlfriend, a symbol to hoist on the totem of love.”
