Single Review: Alex Krawczyk “Better Days”

“Better Days” is an uplifting, indie folk track off Alex Krawczyk’s debut album Le Olam, which was released in February of 2022. Alex’s songwriting process is also a healing process for her after losing her parents, which is why her songs are known to be emotional and deep. She writes from experience, and a lot of people have heard her pain and healing through her music. In fact, she has more than 100,000 Spotify streams, which all come from her releases since she doesn’t perform her music live.

Alex is also familiar with her songs topping the music charts. Her songs garner plenty of radio plays as well. Her song “There Will Be Light” on the same album hit the top of the National Radio Hits AC40 airplay chart and remained in that position for two weeks, which is a great feat for a song off a debut album. It can be hard for indie folk artists to fight their way onto radio charts, but she succeeded. Luckily for current and future listeners, a new album is currently in the works to be released in the coming months.
