What makes Too Close by Alex Clare notable?

'Too Close' reached significant popularity, particularly after being featured in a Microsoft Internet Explorer advertisement, leading to chart success in multiple countries. The song's blend of dubstep and pop rock helped pave the way for Clare's crossover appeal and introduced broader audiences to his unique sound. When 'Too Close' was released in April 2011, Alex Clare was emerging as a notable figure in the UK music scene. This single followed his debut album 'The Lateness of the Hour', which had established his presence but did not achieve widespread recognition until this track gained traction through its use in commercials and media.
