Apparently she was tapped for a six figure ad campaign for some egg company to sing a cover of that song.

It premiered on the 5th October during X Factor apparently, but I had no idea. I randomly caught the advert on TV just now and I knew it was Alex's voice. I was shocked. Here's a snippet of the ad on YouTube.

She sounds so good on the track. I want to hear the full version. I think this is her first promo track since Live and Let Die.

If this is true it looks like Alex is presenting an award at the MOBO Awards tomorrow. I'd prefer her to be performing obviously but it's something I suppose...She's gotta be on point with her styling though!!

What is alex actually doing ATM? seems like everything has just stopped with the odd studio visit AKA her house ...

Does she not understand you need to build some HYPE before any era.....

I don't get why she has been back in the UK for so long. She's been here since the end of August.

We were told she was only going to be back here briefly, but she has been here for months now, and there's no sign of her returning back to the US any time soon. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't go back until next year at this rate.

She's needs to get back to America asap and finish the album and work on those contacts. I'm not convinced that she has signed a new record deal yet either. There are rumours and things happening but they are been hidden from the fans.

I love this song and would DIE for Alex's version in my life! Any chance this to be leaked?
Shoed

I think she has got a label and I think the album is most likely done...

but girl, why are you doing NOTHING? constantly going partying, theme parks and gigs.... girl you have fans waiting and you give us nothing.

We'll just have to see I guess. Maybe if fans asked on Twitter it might get released. The most annoying thing is that there are hardly any Alex fans around on Twitter any more. Her fanbase is virtually gone.

Alex's life ATM:

Party, theme parks, go out for food .... Sleep, REPEAT (oh and tell her fans nothing)

SO ANNOYING, girl you are a SINGER. You can live the celebrity life once you've actually done something wid ya career

To be fair though none of us know exactly what Alex is up to at all times, have faith!

but people aren't gonna just wait around for HER
does she not understand that, you can't release music when there is no hype or fanbase

virtually no hype surrounding her, she gets the odd tweet about loving her version of hallelujah lol

Thats pretty sad .
I used to tweet about Alex like crazy but I left twitter for personal reasons not related to Alex and I can't see myself going back any time soon.

Well to be fair she is doing everything she can with what she has atm. She did an EP, is recording an album and is doing a lot of little things here and there to keep her profile up. I agree having no news after years of supporting her is frustrating, but I trust her.

Yeah, trends just fail and there's not much support for her on there. These things are critical to success as Twitter trends etc promote artists.

I think the longer she leaves it, the harder it's going to be. It's well over a year since HOH now, and there hasn't been much progress. I know she didn't want the long gap between Overcome and HOH, and there is that unreleased album sitting around, but she really should have tried to avoid another long gap like this again.

It's going to cost a lot of money to get her back going again and she's going to need a hit single again. Whether these things happen remains to be seen.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I really think she could easily bring it back with a hot song and an XF performance, shortly followed by as US campaign. I think the HOH hate campaign has faded now and the public simply feel indifferent to her right now. A hot single could really be a new start for her and a starting point for her US campaign.
