Rex Orange County performing 'Loving is Easy' Live on KCRW

Rex Orange County is not from Southern California. In fact, it’s the moniker of 20-year-old UK musician Alex O'Connor, whose star has risen swiftly on the strength of the insanely catchy single Loving Is Easy. He brings his unique modern pop sound to KCRW's studio in Santa Monica for a live session.

I dedicate this song to my friend nick. I hear this and it's like the soundtrack of our relationship. His parents divorce messed him up, but knowing mine introduced him to the possibility of finding an alternative to his blood family. This sweet melody mixed with rex vocals sounds like everything. Heard it by accident on Google music and knew it was my jam.

Rex is so WELL ROUNDED on instruments... I LOVE IT!

Loving is easy
You had me fucked up
It used to be so hard to see
Yeah, loving is easy
When everything's perfect
Please don't change a single little thing for me

Listen, girl
When you can't even hide it
And it didn't take forever to find it
I was all on my own
Almost glad to be alone
Until love came in on time, on time

So loving is easy
You had me fucked up
It used to be so hard to see
Yeah, loving is easy
When everything's perfect
Please don't change a single little thing for me

Oh, oh
Ah, ah
Oh, oh
Ah, ah

So listen, girl
When you can't even hide it
And it didn't take forever to find it
I was all on my own
Almost glad to be alone
Until love came in on time, oh, on time

Loving is easy
You had me fucked up
It used to be so hard to see
Yeah, loving is easy
When everything's perfect
Please don't change a single little thing for me

Oh, oh
Ah, ah
Oh, oh
Ah, ah

His voice really is something

[ObiWanKenobi]

It sounds a bit strange without the strings but it’s still pretty good

[neoduckman]

The bass playing is very different from how Benny Sings did it

[MrRaultejeda]

Anyone know what type of keyboard he’s playing ?
