To celebrate the release of 'Addicted', Alexis Strum visits Kingston to play an in-store set.
Singer-songwriter and cult pop artist Alexis Strum releases her long-lost debut album Addicted for the first time ever on CD & Vinyl.
‘Addicted’ is a sparkling time capsule of early noughties electropop, boasting collaborations with the likes of Xenomania (Girls Aloud, Sophie Ellis-Bextor), Richard X (Kelis, Annie) and Joel Edwards of Deepest Blue. Bold, sexy and bursting with attitude, the record delivers an exhilarating joy ride of vibrant synths and killer pop hooks from start to finish.
The album itself carries a fascinating back story. First recorded back in 2002 while Alexis was signed to a multi-album deal with Warner Music, the collection never saw the light of day due to label wrangles, despite strong fan anticipation at the time. However, something magical happened and despite not being allowed to be a success for Alexis herself, the songs found a home with some of the biggest pop princesses. Kylie Minogue recorded “Still Standing” for her hit album Body Language, while Rachel Stevens included the icy electro ballad “Nothing Good About This Goodbye” on her sophomore record.
Now, more than two decades later, Addicted is finally being unleashed in physical form, with limited edition CD and vinyl pressings arriving via indie label Back on Wax, including exclusive bonus tracks from the vaults, never before released.
