This review is from: Voodoo (MP3 Download)

One of the best Albums I have ever heard.
Voodoo is packed with emotions and the Lyrics go skin deep!

Alexz voice is raw, powerful and filled with so much passion.
Each song is so unique and different they can not be compared with one another (try comparing a documentary and a Comedy).

Each song tells its own story and gives away its own vibe!
Alexz and Brendans intentions were to create an Album that has a Cinematic or Movie soundtrack feel to it. It was an experimental approach that turned out even better than I had expected it to be (waiting for so long, my expectations were pretty high).

Imagine a movie marathon with a mixture of different genres (romance, thriller drama...you name "Voodoo" got it)

I guarantee you; you will not be able to listen to that Album without being touched in one way or another or getting Goosebumps.

It's like a bag of Chips you can't put down after the first bite, with "Voodoo" you won't be able to stop after the first listen, it is addicting and refreshing you just can't get enough of it.

Please be advised: Do not judge the Album by only listening to the clips, they do no justice to an entire song. In order to see how great the songs are and get the true feeling of the Album you have to listen to the tracks in its entirety @ [...].

If you're anything like me, you have probably been waiting for this disc for four to five years. Alexz Johnson starred in the hit TV series Instant Star where she played a young singer-songwriter dealing with the ins and outs of fame. Alexz actually had written a few songs for her character. After being dropped from two record labels, I began to wonder if this disc would ever see the light of day. No, these aren't the ten songs she wrote and recorded under Epic's watch. I only wish. Those were phenomenal.
1. Voodoo 4/5: it's actually a pretty haunting nicely written pop song. about a girl who loves someone, seemingly without choice.
2. Gonna Get it 1/5: its another pop song that would be better with a few more verses.
3. Look At Those Eyes 5/5: Definitely one of my favorite songs from the album, comparing the pain in their eyes to a tornado.
4. L.A. Made Me 4/5: this is a song she wrote during her Epic days, but luckily hadn't yet recorded it. Love it
5. A Little Bit 2/5: This is very akin to Gonna Get It, but has a much better beat.
6. Mr Jones 4/5: A very RnB feel to this pop song, fun to sing
7. Superstition 5/5: Another favorite song on the album. Very beautiful medley about the pain love can be and how hard it can be to survive it.
8. Trip Around the World 4/5: The lead single from the album, has an amazing accompanying video. A very fun song that nearly everyone can relate to
9. Hurricane Girl 4/5: Another one written during Epic days. Its just a beautiful fun song.
10. Taker 5/5: Another fave. nice telling of love.
11. Boogie Love 3/5: I think the title is very self explanatory.

All in all, a fun album. I would say I'm glad she released it, maybe not worth the wait- the Epic album would have been. Wings of A Dove, Chicago, Running With The Devil, Swallowed, Easy, Shout. Some amazing songs (most of which are or were at one time streaming on her website [...])

Anyone who has been following this girls career for a while has been waiting for this album to come out for years now. When the disappointment with Epic Records happened, I wondered how Alexz would be able to deliver an album up to the mark of the Epic songs - Swallowed, Easy, Running With The Devil, Spin, Golden etc. Those songs were amazing, and since they'd already been heard by the world, even though they were unreleased, Alexz and her brother Brendan had their work cut out for them - how were they going to produce an album that would satisfy the fans?

Well, they did it. Every song on this album is amazing in it's own way. Some are better than others, as with most albums, but all the songs have their own charm and get caught in your head. Perhaps the biggest strength of this album is the lyrics. We already saw Alexz's lyrical gift with the unreleased Epic songs, but this album really showcases her talent and gives us a taste of what she is all about.

I recommend this album to every music lover out there. It does not disappoint.
