Alex Radice ‘I Don’t See You Coming Back’ Review: Intimate Indie Folk, Tender Strings
Alex Radice’s “I Don’t See You Coming Back” is a small, confessional ache set to fingertip guitar and soft strings.
It runs just 2:41 but feels shorter, the verses moving like a quiet plea to stay: “Darling, I’ve got something on my mind… if you leave, then I don’t see you coming back.”
The performance sits close to the mic; his voice is open and a little fragile, which suits the subject of insecurity and fear of abandonment.
As Alex tells Neon Music, “Honestly, this one came to me very quickly… It’s about feeling insecure when meeting someone new, feeling that fear of abandonment creeping in.”
The Buffalo bedroom-artist roots show in the intimacy and restraint, a through-line from earlier indie-folk leaning singles like “How Lucky We’ve Been” and “If You Had More.”
It’s tender, replayable, and precise enough to sting without raising its voice.
