Alexandra Seightholm is a Canadian singer, who self-released her LP 'Half Full', when she was just 16. As a teenager she wrote songs and worked in coffeehouses in her hometown Toronto, and in 1999 she performed at the Canadian Music Week, which led to a deal with Management Trust, Ltd. She had a side-stage performance at the Lilith Fair in Toronto in August 1999, and performed again at the Canadian Music Week in 2000, later signing with Hollywood Records. She began working on her album 'Edge Of A Girl' with Rob Cavallo, under the name Alexandra Slate. The result could be compared to confessional female songwriters like Liz Phair, Tracy Bonham and Alanis Morissette, and lead single, 'Bad Girl', appeared on the ;Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life' soundtrack. Advance copies were sent out in 2003, and received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising her rich, sultry vocals, while others criticised the album for its similarities to Lucy Woodward's music released at the same time. For reasons unknown, the album was never granted a commercial release, although some of the promo copies soon appeared on ebay, so here it is for you to try to work out why Hollywood Records had so little faith in it.
