In Copenhagen - Alex Campbell

Advantages: An excellent insight of what to expect from Alex's future material
Disadvantages: Too many cover versions are included

...This isn’t Alex’s official debut; more of a half way post between reality TV show contestant and solo star. When Alex won 2003’s Fame Academy her album was released in just under two months. However it was received very well and went on to go platinum in a month, outselling her 2002 predecessor David Sneddon’s 9 month old album in just seven days. The album also was well received from critics which helped it to sell steadily in the Christmas market. Composed of covers and originals Introduction is a mixed debut. It includes the singles “Maybe That’s What It Takes” and “Cry”. These are two heartfelt power ballads which are prime examples of the types of songs Alex excels in. However it should not be overlooked that the album contains diverse sounds and Alex can equally belt out a fantastic rocky number. The covers recorded whilst... Read review

Advantages: Great voice, great songs
Disadvantages: none

...This brilliant first album by Alex Parks has all the great covers that we heard her sing in Fame Academy and also seven other original tracks of her own. These seven new tracks really show you that the girl has some talent in song writing and her voice throughout the album is easy to listen to. Although the album isn't all of her own work and some of the songs are covers, this just portrays the fact that shes a really good artist and can make the songs her own. Her covers of 'Yellow' and 'Beautiful' are two of my favourate on the album. You could say it was daring of Alex to do a cover of 'Here comes the rain again', by such a brilliant artist as Annie Lennox, however Alex pulls it off easily and fills the song with emotion. Alex's first single 'Maybe that's what it takes' sounds really genuine which is what you... Read review
