Alexx O'Nell Singing Debut With 'Still On My Mind' Featuring Shama Sikander

Still On My Mind is the first single and music video from Actor/Musician Alexx ONell, who is best known for his film work including Joker and Main Aur Charles, and series Inside Edge and 21Sarfarosh among others.
On touching base with Alexx he stated “I write from my heart and soul. This one is about personal experiences I've had. It's a romantic song, it speaks of love, loss, regret, wanting to make things right. It’s about incredibly happy times, and the opposite too…”
Told through a series of flashbacks Still On My Mind is about two lovers whose story is drawing to a close: and while one is seeking closure, the other is clinging to the past. At its core, Still On My Mind asks: “how do you live without me now?”  As all over the world friends, families, and lovers are forced to stay at a distance from one another it is a question many people are struggling with right now.
“In that way, this is the perfect song for the moment in which we live. This is a love song for the lockdown, and that’s why I thought it was important to release it now” He signs off.
On the acting front, Alexx will be seen starring in a major OTT series releasing shortly, as well as 3 films, including the much-awaited Roohi Afza, as soon as theatres open.
Idea behind launching this song during this quarantine:
According to Alexx ONell, "It's a romantic song, it speaks of love, loss, regret, wanting to make things right. It’s about incredibly happy times, and the opposite too… And at its core, the song says two things: it begins with “You’re all that I want, I can’t live without you” and then later asks "how do you live without me now?” In that way, this is the perfect song for the moment in which we live. This is a love song for the lockdown, and its why I thought it was important to release it now. This is a time when so many people are thinking about those who they love, but cannot see. Even the neighbouring building may as well be at the other end of the earth. People who’ve told each other “I can’t live without you”, are now doing just that. So, how are they doing what they believed was impossible just weeks ago. How do you live without your special someone, or your loved ones, now?
And, quite frankly, as the song begins “still on my mind”, many people are realising that those who they loved in the past are indeed still on their minds… I believe when you share a connection with someone, its always there, maybe it just takes some time, some quiet and some introspection to realise it (and even then, many choose to ignore it). I've had people reach out to me in this period that I thought I would never speak with again…Hence the idea to launch it NOW!"
