'Bonfire' Receives Rave Reviews

  • Sep 24, 2020

'Bonfire' has received a stellar write up from renowned music blog About The Noise following its release on 18th September.


About The Noise adds:"Incredible singer.. 'Bonfire' showcases MARKX's insane vocals."


In this exclusive interview he lifts the lid on the 'Spirit' EP and the difficulties he's faced during lockdown - MARKX adds:


"I have to be honest and say it has been a struggle the last couple of months mentally and emotionally. This time around I’ve decided not to overly produce the songs, to go for a much more stripped back and organic sound. I see the EP as a bridge from my previous album ‘Laments’ into my upcoming project in 2021. There are some very sentimental songs to follow the first two singles – I’ve worked with some brand new writers and a new producer this time around so I’m very excited to see how these are received!"


You can download and stream 'Bonfire' on all major digital platforms here.

  • Sep 12, 2020

MARKX's second single 'Bonfire' is coming out Friday 18th September which you can now pre-save here. Until then you can watch the lyric video for the 'Laments' version of the song below.


MARKX co-wrote this song a couple of years ago with the lovely Beth Keeping. Originally the song title was going to be 'Black Gold' to signify something golden coming from disruption. The lyrics of the song beautifully reflect hard break ups and what good can come from them.


About the song MARKX adds:

'What was beautiful about it was how simple it was just saying you were going to light a bonfire'.

'Bonfire' will feature on the upcoming EP 'Spirit' due to release on the 11th of December.


About the new and exciting EP, MARKX adds:

'The new EP has some songs never heard before ... I see the EP as a bridge from my previous album 'Laments' into my new upcoming project in 2021.'


WOW! Some very exciting things coming our way! This is ever so important especially in the world we live in now as we find ourselves surviving through the Covid-19 pandemic. To have things to look forward to and goals to achieve is essential now more than ever.

About staying motivated during these crazy time, MARKX adds:

'One of the reasons I’ve managed to stay motivated during this time is that I’ve made such good use of the time I’ve had available – I’ve been studying marketing and learning a new instrument and have been getting into fitness with daily running and yoga. I’ve always had a drive to do something interesting and meaningful with my life so probably it just stems down to my stubbornness to accept my circumstances'.


Staying motivated and happy as we push through these challenging times is key. Is there something you could do that could make all this time isolated more enjoying like running, learning a new instrument, taking up a new hobby or working on your overall self-care?


From everyone at MARK's team we'd like to thank you and we all hope you are okay. Enjoy life as best as you can and don't forget to pre-save 'Bonfire' here.


Exclusive Interview with MARKX!

The interview reflected MARKX's lovable personality greatly and shed light on the behind the scenes of how he likes to write.

'Most of the songs I write have a message and provide a ‘resolution’ but purposely this one was left hanging. I think it’s important to acknowledge the fact that some things are never resolved and the frustration that can follow loss.'


He talks about why he took a different approach with this song and how 'swiftly - within a couple of hours' the song came together.

MARKX also shared his future plans including a brand new EP in the works and how he's looking into performing gigs again when it is safe to do so.
