about

Reaching far into the heart and soul of music is what Alex Nester does best.

Pristine vocals, smoldering with old school R&B, are laced with an edginess reminiscent of Joplin. She takes an iconic Kansas tune and makes it her own on this guest vocal for rock band Magellan. Infusing a dash of Aretha, blended with the smoky soul of Joss Stone, and clearly, Nester has a grand slam.

Magellan's signature sound is unmistakable. From a band known for stretching boundaries, challenging convention and status quo, it's no surprise their latest release features a revisited track with a stunning twist.

On this guest appearance for Magellan, Alex Nester owns it. Let's not forget we are comparing a vocalist who once graced the stage of American Idol to a classic progressive rock band like Kansas. That's a stretch, in the mind of music snobs.

Nester has been making waves on her own, long after her stint at Idol was done. Flash in the pan? Hell, no. The killer vocalist takes us to church with her powerhouse vocals that speak of mortality. When the 3rd verse hits you hard with fire and brimstone, you almost feel as though you're warming the seat at a good Southern Sunday sermon.

It's obvious this soul queen will be around for a long time to come.
Does she do the track justice? Try avoiding a rush to judgment, throw on a pair of headphones, and listen without distraction to find out.

lyrics

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment’s gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes with curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh...

Now don’t hang on
Nothin’ lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won’t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind
(Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
(In the wind)
