Alex's official site has a new - and rather dramatic, black and white - front page, while the site is being reconstructed. It's a great relief to see the machinery finally swing into action for Alex's new release.
It looks as though HMV's advertised release date for HONESTY was a touch premature. Insert rollie eyes emoticon. We now have official confirmation that the album is due out on 24th October. The lead single LOOKING FOR WATER will be out on 17th October.
The official site recommends that everybody signs up to their mailing list for site launch details, updates, preferential ticket purchases, PA's, exclusive competitions and music downloads. It looks as though lots of goodies are finally on the way.

But it is under construction, so hopefully that'll change.
That's good to hear. Alex wasn't my favourite in FA (James Fox woz robbed!) but I did buy her first CD in a show of support for the winner type of way, and if there is to be another series it would be helpful if the previous winner was enjoying success.
Devoted fan in favourable review shocker!
Not exactly breaking-the-mould then?
Some people following this thread may be interested in the October issue of Diva, which carries a cover feature about Alex. Thanks to Tez for that link.
The interview in Diva is a good read as well... very positive stuff. Evidently the album has a mix of genres, rock and folk as well as pop. Three quarters of the album was written with Greg Wells, who's worked with the Deftones, Michelle Branch and a lot of heavy rock bands. The more commercial tracks for the singles were written with Judie Tzuke. Alex is looking forward to doing some shows in November to promote the album, with her own band.
I'm a subscriber, but the magazine should be in newsagents within the week, and it can also be purchased online from DIVADirect.
Apparently the video for Looking For Water was broadcast this morning on B4 Sky Channel 457 and it's also listed on The Box Channel 449.
Wow really - that's great, even more reason for me to go and buy - Judie Tzuke is brilliant and was always one of the most underrated of artists (in my opinion, obviously!)
the polydor site only plays 30 seconds..
cheers
and welcome back alex!
thanks
i like it - i think its a lovely soft song..
can't wait for the album, especially john reynolds' track 'Lies'

if anyone has d/l LFW though - let me know
ps: the video is playing right now on the box! yay!
I love Alex but this song does absolutely nothing for me. It isn't bad and I know it'll grow on me but after about half a dozen listens I still couldn't hum it - just the one line "you're looking for water..". When you stand it next to the amazing "Maybe" and "Cry" it sounds like a b-side. And her VOICE is somehow irritating in it as well. There's no real melodic hook and the song ends rather abruptly where it should have continued to grow a bit.
I really want to love it and I'll be buying the album regardless - but I am worried that this is the best they can come up with ? It's not a top 5 hit by any stretch of the imagination.
its all very monotone - no light/dark - so its, dare i say it, a bit dull..? still im glad she has finished her album, very glad to know john reynolds has produced a track but nevertheless am a tad wary of a) the rest of the tracks and b) the critics

I was going to buy the album no matter what, but if this is what Polydor thinks is good enough to be released as the first single, well, I think I'll wait and hear some of the other tracks before I run out to purchase it.
