Her music is ample evidence, but meet Alexa in person and the star quality is undeniable. You’ll meet a girl from a small town in the suburbs of southern England who still has to pinch herself when she finds herself rubbing shoulders with music royalty at LA parties, but you’ll also immediately realise what it is about this extraordinary young talent that earned her the attention and respect of some of pop’s biggest starmakers. Alexa is an artist who has found her strength through music, and can’t wait to tell the world her story.
Recorded in LA and New York, Goddard’s debut album showcases qualities that mirror her personality: smart, fun, sparky and refreshingly straightforward, featuring collaborations with bluechip producers like Stargate (Rihanna, Beyonce, Ne-Yo, Shakira), Ester Dean (Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Mary J Blige) and even Chris Brown. Hits-in-the-making include hook-heavy belter ‘So There’, lyrically reflective ‘Who Needs Perfect’ and female pop anthem ‘Stay Pretty’. Now it’s time for the rest of the planet to meet this exciting new star.
Growing up with three older brothers, a young Alexa quickly found a way to make her voice heard. She absorbed her family’s passion for a diverse range of musical styles, and discovered that she felt perfectly at home on stage in local talent shows and karaoke contests. “When I got on stage and performed, it was the best feeling in the world. I felt like I could do anything’,” Alexa recalls. After winning a talent contest at a seaside holiday camp, it led to recording sessions across Europe; later, her MySpace profile caught the eye of multi-million-selling prog rock behemoths Trans-Siberian Orchestra, who invited her to audition for a forthcoming tour. Over the next couple of years, she played to huge crowds up and down America’s East Coast, but after a while knew she had to concentrate on her own music.
Going right back to basics she persuaded one of her brother’s friends, a fledgling music manager, to arrange some recording sessions with producers so she could work on her own songwriting. Alongside these writing sessions they uploaded some videos to YouTube and immediately the views went supernova with subscribers going through the roof and one of her covers even hitting the Top 20 on the official UK charts after she released her version independently.
No wonder there’s a twinkle in her eye as she edges closer to realising her dream. Alexa’s loving every minute as she prepares to take the world by storm in 2014 “It’s taken a while for me to get here. I haven’t rushed anything. But believe me, I’m ready now.”
We Broke The Sky
Alexa Goddard Lyrics

Lose your heart why don't you, why you always cold now
Find your way why don't you, don't be we can call about
I guess those who can't do, those who can't watch
Which side are you on?
Ooh
Well you can if you want, you can run if you want
But I can't sit and watch as you drown in the dark
Ooh
You can't find the light
They'll say we've survived
With stars in our eyes
We broke the sky
We fought for our lives
Set flame to the night
With stars in our eyes
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
Find yourself why don't you, why you always so damn lost
Let me in why don't you, why you on a guard
I promise I won't hurt you, let me see just who you are
But I'm too far to save you, I will never be across
Ooh
Well you can if you want, you can run if you want
I won't stop you
But I can't sit and watch as you drown in the dark
Ooh
You can't find the light
They'll say we've survived
With stars in our eyes
We broke the sky
We fought for our lives
Set flame to the night
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke the sky
We broke oh we broke the sky
We broke oh we broke the sky
The song "We Broke The Sky" by Alexa Goddard talks about being lost and finding oneself in the darkness. The first verse encourages the listener to let go and lose themselves, to not always hold on and be cold-hearted. It also mentions that those who can't do things end up watching instead, posing the question of which side the listener is on.
The chorus talks about overcoming the darkness by breaking the sky, setting flame to the night with stars in your eyes. It talks about fighting for your life and surviving, implying that you can find the light and overcome the darkness.
The second verse talks about being lost and guarded but promises not to hurt the listener. It mentions being too far to save the listener, possibly indicating that the listener needs to find their own way out of the darkness. The chorus is then repeated twice to reinforce the message of fighting through the darkness to break the sky.
Overall, the song is an empowering anthem about fighting through dark times and overcoming challenges. It tells the listener to let go of their guards and trust in themselves to break through to the light.
