It also went to Christmas number one in 2008 and became the biggest selling single that year in the UK. Her debut album 'Overcome' earned Alexandra three Brit Award nominations. In 2014 Alexandra made her West End debut when she starred as Rachel Marron in the musical The Bodyguard and in 2016 went on to star as Deloris van Cartier in Sister Act. Her latest album 'The Truth Is' is Alexandra's third studio album and features original tracks showcasing her incredible voice.
