  • Rex Orange County is a 19-year-old British kid visiting New York City. He's in love, and holds his girlfriend's hand tenderly when they ride the train. He's also making music. Great music. In 2017 he released his debut album Apricot Princess. It was an album filled with dreamy, happy songs about young love.
    "I write songs, I play instruments, and I produce music that comes out for the world," he describes himself, in the new documentary from The FADER. Directed by Scott Perry, the film follows Rex Orange County as he prepares for a New York City show, where he'll perform songs like "Untitled" and "Sunflower."

    I’ve been a fan of him for about 5 days and I just wanted to say this guy is crazy talented and makes me feel more emotions more than any other artist has before. I’m young and I haven’t dealt with heartbreak, rejection, divorce, love and more, but his music puts me right in the moment where he wrote those songs. I really hope he goes to Canada.
    And I’m so glad that I’ve been able to be in the beginning stages of him when he performs in front of only hundreds, and soon I hope to be one of those hundreds.
    Rex keep making music, please don’t die at 27, you’re already a legend.
