Musical Philosophy, Take 2....

Today's bit of musical philosophy comes from Alexz Johnson and her song "Trip Around the World" featured on the CD Voodoo.

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

I think this is my favorite phrase on the whole CD. I love how that whole song (and this bit in particular) reminds you to just relax and take things in but don't let the negativity bring you down. What do you all take from this? Is there another one you would have used instead? Comment back and let me know.

Voodoo Reloaded

I mentioned before that I was looking forward to hearing Alexz Johnson's Voodoo Reloaded and that it would be released in April. Well, now we have the official release date and cover art. The CD will be available on April 26th and Alexz has already started doing some interviews about the project.

As a fan of the original Voodoo, I am not sure how I feel about the Remix idea. I do know I love the new version of "Trip Around the World", while the new "Boogie Love" has yet to grow on me. Still, I am looking forward to seeing what direction these tracks have gone in and doing a compare and contrast post about the two once Reloaded is out. In the meantime, here is a little video for you of Alexz performing a duet with Jimmy Robbins. The song is called "Lost This War" and was written by the two of them. Enjoy and I'll see ya again soon!
