[**Alex Lahey**](https://glamglare.com/artist/alex-lahey?ref=glamglare.com) is one of Australia’s most exciting young artists, and she’s back with the highly satisfying “Congratulations,” capturing the all-too-familiar feeling of when your ex (or in Lahey’s case, ex*es*), moves on and settles for someone new. Alex made herself a name with her uncanny knack for creating catchy songs, delivered with her beautiful alto vocals, and spiking them up with confessional lyrics. Here’s a taste:

*There’s no mistaking //* *That I’m shaken //* *By your lightning //* *Change of heart.*

Sometimes you don’t even see it coming, and yet it happens, as Alex explains:

> Two of my exes got engaged within an improbably short space of time of one another. What are the odds? I couldn’t not write a song inspired by it.

The lo-fi anthem is accompanied by a “deeply unhinged” video, Lahey’s words, written by herself and co-directed by **Jon Danovic**. She says about the creative process:

> It felt like the perfect time to execute a long standing concept I had of making out with myself on camera. Now both the song and the video feel like a message about choosing yourself over anyone else.

It’s so much fun to see how Alex flips things on its head and turns the loss into a gain. I can’t help but smile when the clip ends. Well done, Alex! Listen to “Congratulations,” our Song Pick of the Day, and check out the lovely video:
