It's easy to dismiss Alex Parks as "miserable" because of her naturally wistful tone of voice, but it doesn't do Chris Martin from Coldplay any harm.

Two years after winning the BBC's Fame Academy, Alex releases her first "proper" album, mercifully free of cover versions.
Upon first listen, "Honesty" seems rather unremarkable, but before long, each song's personality begins to soak into your consciousness. This album is a textbook "grower". There are some obvious standout tracks:

Opener "Lie" sounds vaguely sinister and 007-ish, with forceful vocals and a sweeping orchestra.
"Out of Touch" is a tenderly sung and beautifully understated lullaby.
"So Emotional" is heartbreaking, with a simple acoustic guitar for accompaniment, and would be quite at home on the first "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" soundtrack alongside the likes of Alison Krauss and Bif Naked.
"Get Out" is mellow and sublime, and stands head and shoulders above the rest of the album, with a triumphant chorus. The lush vocal harmonies in the middle section will give you goosebumps.
"Honesty" is an upbeat and pacy singalong, with a little slide guitar thrown in giving it a vaguely American pop tinge.
"Adore" is rather downbeat, and begins simply enough, building to a soaring finale with distorted guitars as Alex unleashes her vocals, reminiscent of Bjork and Sinead O'Connor.

Throw away your preconceptions, and chill out to this excellent collection of tunes. If this is what Alex produces as a fledgling artist then she's destined for greatness. A true gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars a unique talent
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2005

The two albums I was listening to a lot before I bought this one were Cream live at the Royal Albert Hall, and Deep Purple's new album. Alex Parks is a relatively new arrival on the music scene, but like the members of those vastly experienced bands, she's doing the one thing she's supposed to be doing - creating music. And mighty fine music it is too. I'd say that this album compares with anything else I've heard this year - and I buy a lot of CDs. Ian Gillan sings, 'As we all know it's hard to breathe when something spiritual has taken place ..', and if you listen closely to Alex Parks unique voice, you too will understand the rapture of the deep.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2008

I have been a big fan of Alex's ever since hearing her on the BBC's Fame Academy. When the show was on I voted for her every week because I was genuinely excited by her musical talent. I saw the potential for a great British female singer-songwriter, something we have not seen in the UK for a while.

I've always been a big fan of singer-songwriters and have over 100 CDs in that genre. I would have to say that this second album ranks very highly and shows a big growth lyrically and musically. It also shows a maturity which sees the angry teenage angst of 'Introduction' changed into a softer (almost melancholy) sound. This could be why the record label failed to promote the second album as they don't know how to market this kind of record. However the international success of artists such as Dido and Sarah McLachlan shows that there is an apatite and a loyal following for this type of music.

I held off buying Honesty as I wanted to hear some reviews of how her sound had evolved for her sophomore release, but they never came. About a year later I bought it and I just wished I'd bought it earlier because I find it a hugely enjoyable listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great and Largely Forgotten Album
Reviewed in the United States on 7 February 2022

Alex Parks only got to create two albums, but what an amazing two albums they are. After winning England's Fame Academy in 2003, she created her first album, "Introduction," followed two years later by "Honesty." This is a well-crafted set of songs that cover multiple genres. While remaining true to the standard song formula, she manages to find many ways to be creative with the result of engaging and emotionally rich music. I really cannot do any of it justice by writing about it - all I can do is implore you to check it out for yourself. You will be glad you did.
