There\u2019s nothing ordinary about Alex Warren<\/a>. His debut album, 2025\u2019s You\u2019ll Be Alright, Kid<\/em>, featured \u201cOrdinary,\u201d<\/a> one of the biggest songs of the decade with over two billion streams and counting. Now, Warren is back with a new album, Wildchild<\/em><\/a>, out August 28 via Atlantic Records. The singles, including \u201cFever Dream,\u201d \u201cFine Place to Die\u201d, and \u201cPassenger,\u201d are in our rotation \u2014 but what are some of Warren\u2019s favorite songs?<\/p>\n

Warren sat down with Uproxx<\/em>\u2018s Jeremy Hecht in the latest episode of Sound Check<\/em><\/a>, where music meets tough decisions. The \u201cRescuer\u201d singer had to pick between two different-sounding songs with the ultimate goal of Hecht guessing his lifetime anthem. The choices weren\u2019t easy: there\u2019s Wiz Khalifa vs. Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran vs. Bruno Mars, Hall & Oates vs. Coldplay, and even Alex Warren (\u201cYou\u2019ll Be Alright, Kid\u201d) vs. Alex Warren (\u201cSave You A Seat\u201d). Along the way, Warren discussed the iconic artists who inspire his songwriting, meeting Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin, and dealing with loss, while also reflecting on how his experiences have shaped his creative journey.<\/p>\n

Will Jeremy be able to guess Alex Warren\u2019s lifetime anthem? You\u2019ll have to watch him take the Sound Check<\/em> challenge in the video above to find out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
