London, England-based folk-pop singer-songwriter Gio Dara unveils “Alexandra,” the second single from his EP Son of My Father, via AWAL. Built around the instantly memorable refrain “Ale Ale Alexandra,” the heartfelt track explores devotion, longing, and the feeling that two people are simply meant to find each other. Written a year before its release, “Alexandra” is one of Gio Dara’s most personal songs, arriving now as he feels ready to share the story behind it. Originally from Georgia and raised in Ukraine, Gio Dara rebuilt his life in London after leaving Ukraine when the war began. He started again by busking on the city’s streets before breaking through with “Now That I Found Her,” which has surpassed ten million streams, and “Be Mine,” now above 24 million. Those songs helped him reach more than 40 million career streams, build an audience of around 700,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and sell out a headline show at London’s The Lower Third. Gio Dara has also earned BBC Introducing London support from Jess Iszatt for “One of a Kind” and “Now That I Found Her,” while “Be Mine” picked up more than 25 radio plays across the U.K. and internationally, including stations in Canada, Spain, Argentina and the U.S., as well as upcoming support on the globally syndicated Passport Approved. With “Alexandra” opening the next chapter of Son of My Father, Gio Dara continues to build a growing international audience around his emotionally direct take on folk-pop. Discover “Alexandra” HERE.
