Honesty (Alex Parks album)

Honesty is Alex Parks' second album, co-written with producers Greg Wells, Alan
Honesty
Branch, John Reynolds and Peter-John Vettese, as well as songwriters Judie Tzuke,
Karen Poole and Marcella Detroit. It was released on 24 October 2005.

The lead single "Looking for Water" was released prior to the album as an
exclusively internet-download release, and failed to make the charts on downloads
alone.

The album received mixed reviews and charted at number 24. There were hopes that
a second single, the title track "Honesty", released on 23 January 2006, would revive
interest in the album. However, the single received minimal promotion and radio
airplay, despite strong video airplay on The Hits and B4, as well as limited
distribution, and entered the chart at number 56.
