The blissfully melodic “Beauty Fades” is another success from Alex Siegel. The California-based artist has impressed in the past with tracks like “Headspin” and “Daydreaming Pilot.” “Beauty Fades” continues a hooky, mellow pop aesthetic. The track’s “superficial beauty fades,” hook succeeds with lovely guitar quaintness and delicate synths, as Siegel’s vocals again show an irresistible pull. Twangy guitars approaching the two-minute mark add notably to the breezy soundscape. Siegel continues to showcase an addictive, hooky vein of mellow pop that’s hard to resist.
