The follow up to debut MARKX's debut EP Water, 'Air', is now available to stream and download from all major digital stores!


About the EP MARKX adds:

"This collection is my most personal yet - they really are the soundtrack to a very exciting yet challenging part of my life. I feel like these three tracks are some of the most honest and heartfelt songs I've ever written and they all come from a very genuine place".


The EP features collaborations with 5 other songwriters including 'Helium Balloon', co-written with the collections producer, Michael Clarke. The tracklisting is as follows:


1. 'Sleeping With A Ghost' (MARKX, Murdoch)

2. 'Complete' (MARKX, Johnson & Dorey)

3. 'Helium Balloon' (MARKX, Clarke & Kelly)


Reflecting on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter #14 and Scottish Global Music Chart #3 placings for 'Holding On To Water' MARKX adds:


"I do feel the pressure to better the last EP, however that said, this EP is unique in its own way and it being here is success enough. These songs, despite the EP's theme, capture a very nostalgic point in my life where the only thing constant in the air is change"


The EP includes a cover of Matt Johnson's 'Complete', effectively a cover of one of MARKX's own songs! He explains:


"Complete has a very special place in my heart as it was the first song I had placed with an established artist. It would always find a way into my live shows and it only felt right to do my own take on the song"


About the artwork MARKX adds:


"The artwork and site animations have again been lovingly created by Morgan Twiston Davies. I've been working with Morgan for over a year now and he's wonderfully captured the essence of my vision for the songs and eco brand going forward"


"Air" is now available to download on iTunes here.


You can save 'Air' on Spotify and Apple Music for streaming here



An interview with MARKX was broadcast on Elaine Lamb's Heat FM New York on Monday evening broadcasted to over 70k listeners worldwide (10th December 2019).


You can listen to the interview in full along with all three tracks from the 'Water' EP via Mixcloud (commencing at around 38 mins).


The interview covered multiple discussion points including mental health, the writing and recording of the 'Water' EP and the forthcoming release of the 'Air' EP in January.


About the opportunity MARKX adds:


"It was a cold and wet Wednesday last week when the interview took place - I was sat in my cosy home office, wrapped in a blanket and hot water bottle with the seagulls screaming out in the background. It's funny to think of Elaine the opposite end of the country in the Highlands of Scotland and then 70K people tuning in all over the world - it really is a small world!"


About the interview Elaine Lamb said:


"MARKX is a lovely, lovely young man and an amazingly talented songwriter".


Don't miss out on the interview in full via Mixcloud!


The 'Water' EP will be played in full on New York's Heat FM today (Monday 3rd December 2018).


All three tracks from the EP will appear on Elaine Lamb's show 7-11pm GMT. You can tune into the station wherever you are in the world online here.


Elaine will also be playing tracks from the EP on her show on Netherlands station, Sparkle FM, along with a pre recorded interview.


About the opportunity MARKX adds:


"I was introduced to Elaine via a mutual friend and was overjoyed when she suggested an interview - I nearly fell of my seat when I realised her shows were both International. It was even more of a bonus seeing my track 'Warplane' (Matt Johnson) charted at #15 in the NL iTunes Chart"


About the significance of the international coverage MARKX adds:


"My dream is to travel the world, create music, promote my work and connect with as many people as possible. This opportunity couldn't have come at a better time for me!"
