Full review
The first album from Alex Parks is a decent introduction to an amazing new talent. Anyone who watched BBC's Fame Academy will know that this girl can sing and write but the album smacks of 'cashing in' and was released far too quickly to be taken totally seriously.

There are too many cover versions (although Mad World is one of the stand out tracks) and it is, overall, overproduced.

Nevertheless, Alex has the potential to be an outstanding artist if only the record company will give her the time and space to develop that potential. She has an amazing soulful voice but this album does not showcase it enough, leaving fans wanting more. She could be a serious artist in the future but will need to work on the music and not get carried away with the celebrity of the pop scene.
