ALEX CLARE

Alex Clare, the British singer-songwriter behind the 2011 hit “Too Close,” has returned with new, deeply personal music after several years away from the spotlight. Disillusioned by the music industry and seeking greater meaning, he left London’s music scene to study Torah in Israel and focus on his faith and family. Encouraged by Israeli artist Ishay Ribo, Clare began writing again during the pandemic, crafting honest, soulful songs that reflect on struggle, love, and self-discovery rather than chasing hits. With creative control and renewed purpose, his latest work—like “Why Don’t Ya”—marks a powerful and authentic new chapter in his career.
