You would think that a sprinkling of snow would be just what everyone
needs to cheer them up, but instead it's caused chaos up and down
the country and the icy conditions have made traveling almost impossible
for some.
While
some people can't even leave their homes for work, Alex Parks can't
even leave the country for home! Stuck in Ireland, Alex has been
meeting with a song writer to work on new material for her next
album.
Alex's
mum Jean Parks told us her trip started on Sunday and the plan was
to spend a few days in Dublin making music and writing lyrics before
heading back to London on Wednesday. But the snow has effected many
English airports and Alex's flight back on Wednesday was snow bound.
Luckily she's been able to stay a few more days in the same hotel
and it's provided a great opportunity to do some sight seeing!
Jean
said that the writing trips to Dublin have been really useful for
Alex. She's written a selection of songs, one of which is set to
be a great hit. Jean told us that Alex was 'really excited' about
the 'euphoric and ambient' tune. Although It's not certain that
it'll be included on the second album.
On
her return to England Alex will continue to promote her new single
'Cry' which is released on February 16th. The CD single will also
contain a special track that Alex wrote before her music career
kicked off.

The
B-side to the single was prompted by Alex's mum. Mrs Parks said
that after a conversation on the phone with her daughter, she asked
Alex what she was going to do with all the songs she wrote before
entering Fame Academy.
"It
really came out of the blue. She said that she'd forgotten all about
the songs, and a few days later I got a call from her saying that
they'd recorded it and it'll appear on the single."
The
song is called 'Chasing the Blue' and is an original composition.
Jean is looking forward to the release and says the song will hit
a nerve with many fans.
"It's
a shame it just misses Valentines day"
"It's
such an emotional song, I think it'll be meaningful to a lot of
people"
