RADAR: Alexz Johnson
Monday, December 5, 2011 at 2:08PM
"I feel stronger, wiser", says 25-year-old Vancouver-raised, NYC transplant Alexz Johnson -- positive words indeed from the singer/songwriter (and actress) who has seen her music tied up in major label turmoil not once, but twice in the last five years. Finally following the release of her debut LP Voodoo (and it's 2011 remix Reloaded), Johnson has regrouped creatively for her next project: a 2012 full-length preceded by a five-song preview EP Skipping Stone arriving in January that promises torchy ballads, retro country and seductive alt-pop. The fine title track, mixed by Greg Wells (Adele), leads the way with a free download now and video premiere December 10 (watch the teaser below). This time around, says Johnson, "the vocals are the star." Listening to "Skipping Stone" and backtracking to "Look at Those Eyes" (from Voodoo Reloaded) we couldn't agree more.

I love alexz! She's very talented!
Love Alexz! Her music just gives off a good feeling..Looking at those eyes, is gorgeous.
Alexz's music is perfect. Her EP is going to be epic.
Alexz is amazing! Can't wait for anything she does, it's always great! Btw, the live version of this song is INCREDIBLE!
I've been following her for years and she's so fantastic. Go on youtube and search for her Epic demo's (from her 'Weight' album), they're amazing and were produced by Greg Wells who mixed Skipping stone :)
