WINDOWS IN THE SKY CHARTS HIGH
We could not be more thankful for your unconditional love and support, especially with such an intimate and personal album! “Windows in the Sky”, Alex’s first solo album, remained #1 in the iTunes charts ahead of major acts such as Muse, Imagine Dragons, Lady Gaga and Queen for 5 consecutive days, is now #1 All Categories in Quebec, #1 in the Digital Albums chart in Canada and #3 All Categories right behind Muse and Imagine Dragons in the Canadian SoundScan top 200 chart!
Beyond those numbers, we are speechless and thankful since this happened without radio and media, but only between us! It’s an inspiring message for DIY artists who still believe that music can move us. Alex gave everything in this album, opening up on what he’s been going through, adding words on grief, sorrows, love, hope and faith, all deeply rooted inside of him.
Happy Birthday, Alex!
May this year be one where you continue to etch your way in this world however you like; through your words, your music & your art. Keep your eyes on the promises the future holds for you, never look back, and remember that the dark unknown is nothing more than a place waiting for a light to shine upon it – make it yours!
“Summertime Departures” [Lyric Video]
“Summertime Departures” is the first single off Alex Henry Foster’s first solo album, “Windows in the Sky”.
Written between Tangier and Montreal, “Windows in the Sky” has been crafted in a fragile state of emotional isolation following the passing of his father, a devoted believer to whom he was estranged, after a long battle with cancer. Foster explores the nature of faithlessness, sorrows and solitude while trying to find hopeful directions within the disorientation and the confusion brought about by grief.

Thank you for joining us!
Alex’s live listening session of “Windows in the Sky” has been a moment that will mark a new season. Thanks to everyone who joined the event, asked questions and spread the word! This communion will forever remain a great blessing!
Alex was sharing about the creation process:
“I was just tired of that whole Rock’N’Roll lifestyle… and well, I don’t think this record will play on the radio… and also, the recording in studio as a band is always a little cold, but for this project, it was more live, more instinctive… more as I always wanted.
At first, I didn’t think about doing an album, I didn’t think about writing music, I’m more into writing and I don’t really think about it after. That’s pretty much how it was in the last 2 years.”
