ALAN FLETCHER SHARES POIGNANT NEW SINGLE “HEY YOU” – OUT NOW
The First Release From Upcoming New Album ‘The Point’
SYDNEY, AUS. / LONDON, UK. – (28th October, 2022) – Actor and singer-songwriter Alan Fletcher has released his poignant new single “Hey You”, available to stream/download worldwide now. Penned by Fletcher and perfectly produced by Lachlan Bryan and Damien Cafarella, the song began its life entitled, “Hey Mum”, before transitioning into a more encompassing tale.
The track is a personal one for Fletcher, dedicated to his mother Ivy, great aunt Peggy and grandmother, who were all spiritualists. Ivy was his lifelong friend and spiritual guide and she and Peggy assured him they would continue to look after him when they passed.
“I’m not sure I have ever been able to fully accept the idea of transmigration of souls and the concept that passed loved ones can guide the lives of the living. However, it’s a very attractive thought!”, says Fletcher. “’Hey You’ is a shout out to my relatives asking for confirmation that they are, indeed, still there in my life”.

“Hey You” is the first track to be released from Alan Fletcher’s upcoming brand new Americana album The Point, which follows his recent EP Dispatches and is scheduled for release in February 2023.
