Angelic Voice Back to Life
Her new singles are available now.
Gamer Finds ‘Virtual’ Healing with Resident Evil
Alexandra’s hope-filled melodies and verses aren’t just her passion, they are an expression of her gratitude for those who never gave up on her—even when she wanted to. By nature, a whimsical collector of fanciful phrases and fun facts, with an enthusiastic eye for film fashion, a head injury from a fall at college led to anxiety and depression. The young singer couldn’t express her feelings, because, as she put it, “I didn’t have any. I call it the black hole in my head.”
Leon S. Kennedy Lifted Alexandra’s Spirits After The Fall
After the fall where she hit her head on a concrete floor, doctors dismissed it as just a concussion. The injury that affected her memory, coupled with medical caregivers ignoring the impact, had knocked the life right out of her. She didn’t know where to turn while living away from home and feeling isolated at college.
That’s when she retreated into a shell, going through the motions like a zombie, her voice all but silenced and emotions deadened, she said.
A couple of years later, as she played her favorite video game, Resident Evil, which ironically features lots of zombies, she saw her first glimpse of light and her old—or rather better—self. It’s when she knew she was going to be “Okay,” which became the title of a song she wrote in tribute to Deputy Leon S. Kennedy, the character that started it all.
“It felt so amazing to laugh, I started to cry.”
“It sounds so silly. But in Resident Evil 2, when Leon climbs out of his truck, he sees carnage everywhere after zombies have brutally attacked everyone in sight. He said, ‘Well, that doesn’t look good,’ in his deadpan way and I burst out laughing. It was the first time I’d felt like laughing in two years.”
“It felt so amazing to laugh, I started to cry,” which she also hadn’t done for two years. “It is so hard to explain,” said the artist, but playing the game seemed to help rewire her brain to regain what she had lost. A cascade of emotions followed as she made her way through more games in the franchise.
When COVID-19 hit, as the spread of the deadly virus kept her from going out, the similarities to her favorite game were not lost on her. There seemed no better time to release all the stories of healing and positivity inspired by her journey. Hear them all in this collection of heartfelt songs that have universal appeal, but began as a tribute to characters from Resident Evil.
Super Girl
This song was inspired by the Resident Evil game character Sherry, when her sidekick and erstwhile boyfriend sees her remarkable healing ability. Alexandra drew parallels to her own remarkable recovery, and events in all of our lives and thus was born, Super Girl.
What fans are already saying:
“Her vocals are absolutely spellbinding. Wow.”
“It's like soft rock but with a, well, a Celtic kind of twist.
“I really love Alexandra Higgins' voice and she carries the song well. The string accompaniments sound lush and beautiful. The song is loud, clear, and wonderfully produced.”
“Her voice is fantastic and reminds me a bit of Alison Krauss. The writing is smart and engaging.”
