The other day I saw that new Internet Explorer Commercial, and the only reason I kept watching it was because the song. Dude, the song is spectacular! Seriously, it’s got this amazing quality that resonates immediately and it’s the perfect soundtrack for that commercial.
So, let me go ahead and tell you about this awesome song. The song is by this British singer/songwriter named Alex Clare and it’s called “Too Close.” It’s a pretty amazing track, so it really caught my attention.
The song has this dubstep vibe, but the vocals of Alex Clare are soulfully rich. This is my first time ever hearing a song by Alex Clare, but I must say I instantly became a fan of his music.
Watch the official video above, and feel free to watch the Internet Explorer commercial below.
