Alexz Johnson Island

So the news has finally dropped. Thought I couldn’t keep a secret anymore. But now it’s out in the open: Alexz is re-releasing Voodoo as a remix album.

A lot of people are suddenly thinking of Voodoo as a failure. People think that just because it didn’t blow up and hit radio it failed. But that’s really not the case here. The fact that Voodoo is even in stores is partly a miracle. After having Epic songs yanked from underneath her, it took a LOT to get back in the studio and start from scratch.

Don’t think of the remixed album as a second try at the album. Think of it as getting bonuses of whats there now. People have the mindset of “why am I gonna go buy that, when Voodoo was just a flop?”. But under NO circumstance was Voodoo a flop. We got to hear these songs. Alexz shared her passion and her soul with us.

The problem, had two parts. The first part was that the songs weren’t “radio friendly”. But these days, that’s so hard to capture. Voodoo might’ve blow up and had massive listening, but for some reason it didn’t. The second part was Alexz doesn’t have mass promo. It’s hard. She was mostly going on reviews, and fans. And I feel that we, as fans, tried, but not hard enough. We just couldn’t get her out there enough.

I’m really hoping that with the remix album, we can get Alexz on the radio. But we really need to work it. And we need to mass promote her, with planning, and actual execution of plans. Let’s all hope for the best!
