Alex Lloyd, born Alexander Wasiliev in 1974 and based in Sydney, makes the kind of big-hearted, melancholy pop that sounds best on a long drive home. His voice has a cracked, earnest warmth to it, and he wraps it in swelling guitars and slow-burning choruses.
Black the Sun in 1999 introduced him with "Lucky Star", and Watching Angels Mend in 2001 gave him "Amazing", a soaring, hopeful ballad, alongside the brighter "Downtown". Distant Light followed in 2003 with "Coming Home". Those three albums and his self-titled record all made the ARIA top ten, and he has been named Best Male Artist at the ARIA Awards three times.
