With her sophomore album Wonders Await, Alex Krawczyk has managed to capture that rare feeling of a record that doubles as a deep exhale. Dropping January 25 via MTS Records, this 13-track collection feels less like a standard follow-up and more like a massive creative leap forward. Teaming up again with producer Robbie Roth, Krawczyk settles into a much richer, more layered sound that blends her folk roots with a polished Americana edge.
The album starts with “Falling In Love.” The track serves as the perfect doorway into the release, setting an immediate tone of warmth and open-heartedness. While the verses touch on the uncertainty of being “an ocean apart” or wandering down the “wrong road,” the chorus lands with a sense of inevitable gravity, celebrating a connection that feels both destined and grounded. It’s a perfect way to open the album, immediately leaning into that core theme of finding your footing and realizing where you truly belong, even when the road gets a little long.
Later on in the release, “Like Passing Clouds,” a song about the hard work of staying present, shifting from the feeling of “running away” to finally looking inward and deciding to just be. There is something incredibly relatable in the line, “I welcome my thoughts like the passing clouds / and I am okay somehow”—it captures that quiet, messy process of finding peace in real-time. By the time she reaches the refrain, the track feels less like a performance and more like a personal mantra, offering a gentle reminder that even when things feel heavy, we have the capacity to return to ourselves and be free.
With this record, Krawczyk hasn’t just avoided the sophomore slump—she’s completely transcended it, proving that her brand of empathetic, honest songwriting is exactly what the Canadian music scene needs right now.
