Alex Parks - ‘Looking For Water’

One of the most distinctive new voices in music is back. Alex Parks returns with her new single 'Looking For Water' on 17th October, the first to be taken from her second album 'Honesty', the follow-up to her 500,000 selling debut, 'Introduction'.

'Honesty', which is released on 24th October, is a largely self-composed album (with some co-writes by Shakespear's Sister's Marcella Detroit, Alisha's Attic's Karen Poole and veteran British folkstress Judie Tzuke.) Alex says, 'Every song on the album is true, and about something that really happened. I got very emotional making the album. I wanted to call it 'Honesty' because it's all so bare, I felt like I really wanted to show ME!' The first single 'Looking For Water' is a beautiful anthemic ballad which was inspired by a friend of Alex's who "takes from people all the time, 'cos they're too fragile to give to you."

On the album, it is Alex's voice which really stands out, its passion and the emotional authority. The songs with their almost introspective, otherworldly sounds would not look out of place alongside the moody compositions found on something like the cult TV series Twin Peaks. Beautiful songs with sometimes hauntingly dark lyrics.
