We’ll have caps up of each video within the next week, we will not be posting any video or songs. We wont be posting the Voodoo album art either. If you want to see it, buy the Deluxe Premium package of Voodoo!

We’re also gradually adding lyrics to the Voodoo album to the Lyrics page.

Stephen Stohn announced via twitter that Voodoo’s album design (designed by Reform) is finished and has just sent to be manufactured. Can you imagine how close we are to Voodoo? A little more than a month! Preorder will be up soon on AlexzJohnson.com, we’ll keep you posted on when that happens!

The album shoot was done by photographer, Brendan Meadows and completed only a few weeks ago.

Alexz reveals via twitter that she is working with Reform on her upcoming album’s cover design.

Reform has designed CD Packaging art for artists such as Lights, Alexisonfire and Hedley.

It appears clips will air throughout the week between 5-6pm PT when Virgin Radio 95.3 plays Alexz’s “Trip Around the World” for this week’s Best of BC. This post will contain all recorded clips we receive!

The money, the money is getting in the way
Anyway you look at it it’s looking at your face
Standing in line on a windy day
You’re pushing it along
It’s pushing you away
I won’t regret anything I say
Why do people care what I think anyway
We can forget about the trouble and the pain
And leave it in the water let it water down the drain

Let’s take a Trip Around The World today
In the back seat rolling down shady lane
Let’s take a Trip Around The World today
I like it, I like it that way
I don’t mind if you don’t mind
But we can see what the hell we will find
Let’s take a Trip Around The World today
I like it, I like it that way

You love it, I love it, I love it when you’re free
Anyway you look at it it’s how it’s meant to be
Nine to five is becoming a disease
Not even a second left to bandage. up your knee
Make the rules to your own game
Sip your champagne and tell ‘em where to get some
At the end of the day enjoy the taste
We’re on a big balloon floating in space

Let’s take a Trip Around The World today
In the back seat rolling down shady lane
Let’s take a Trip Around The World today
I like it, I like it that way
I don’t mind if you don’t mind
But we can see what the hell we will find
Let’s take a Trip Around The World today
I like it, I like it that way

Listen, listen it could be an addiction
Missing every moment like a physical condition
It brings you down and isn’t it profound
Stop and take a second look around this town
Things are changing all the time
Keep it in mind when you’re feeling kicked down
The doubt, the trouble and the drought
You take it in before it takes you out

This is seriously the greatest day in my life to date. I can’t believe that we are closer to a music video, an actual single on iTunes that we can BUY, an album, radio play, and more! This has been something I’ve been waiting for for a very long time and I know you guys have been too, as well as Alexz. So enjoy today and enjoy the song.

The song is truly beautiful and something unique.

We had a wonderful opportunity to interview Stephen Stohn, the executive producer of Instant Star and Degrassi and more recently Alexz’s manager. We get “overly personal” with Stephen Stohn. From kicking stress, to the exact time and day he knew he was going to do “whatever it took to create music and entertainment for fans around the world“, and more.
