This is the debut album from 2003's Fame Academy winner Alex Parks. Showcasing her unique raspy vocals mixed with her blend of contemporary rock and pop, the album features seven original tracks penned by Parks herself and six covers including REM's 'Everybody Hurts', Coldplay's 'Yellow' and Tears For Fears' 'Mad World'. Also included is the debut single 'Maybe That's What It Takes'.

Winning Fame Academy is no guarantee of long-term musical success, so champion Alex Parks wisely lays down the basis for a proper career on Introduction. By cowriting over half of the 13 songs here, she aims to be a bona fide singer-songwriter and not just some karaoke copyist. Of course, there are cover versions--market forces demand it--but they're not just grinning caricatures of the originals. REM's "Everybody Hurts" becomes a rousing torch-ballad, while a sparse, piano-led take on Tears for Fears' "Mad World" draws out all the song's melancholy misanthropy. "Dirty Pretty Words" with its crunching, filthy guitar is fem-rock from Alanis Morissette's top drawer. "Stone and Feathers" is a storming vocal performance bound for gay-club glory, while the opening "Maybe That's What It Takes" is an orchestral feast of emotion. Parks has far higher ambitions than the likes of Will Young and Gareth Gates--she is aiming both for hits and credibility. She'll get the former, for sure,The latter will come with time.
