On September 28th, talented singer/songwriter Alexis Houston will be releasing her debut album, ‘SPEAK LOVE-LIFE LESSONS'. The album showcases Houston's musical prowess and shares the narrative of her true life experiences.

‘Speak Love...' is being released by her own label ALL'S WELL MUSIC in partnership with EMI Music, and her first single, titled ‘Change' will be released on August 3rd. Alexis pulls from all her musical influences: Pop, Jazz, Gospel, Electronica and Rock and blends them into a mix that is uniquely her and undeniably special. To compliment Alexis' own writing and production, the project benefits from collaborations with Grammy nominated songwriter/producers; Gregg Pagani Charlie Wilson, Patti LaBelle, Kenneth ‘Babyface' Edmonds,, Ivan & Carvin Justin Timberlake, Musiq Soulchild, The Insomniax JoJo, Bobby V and Jake Ridley Christina Aguilera.

Each track chronicles unique moments Houston has experienced throughout her short life. At only the age of 26, Houston has walked a life of hills and valley's with her head held high. No matter what happens she always is pulled back into her first love of music and finally her first album is complete. "I decided to pursue this because I had a passion for music, it made me feel good - it moved me. I haven't found anything else that has brought me nearly this much joy," says Alexis.

This New Jersey native has been delighting audiences since she was six years old and credits singing in church choirs at New Hope Baptist Church Newark, NJ. It was here under the watchful eye of Anne Drinkard Moss and her sister, Soul and Gospel Legend, Cissy Houston that she further honed her music skills, singing in the various choirs of the church. It is from this very same church background that the world got the likes of Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, and Whitney Houston; members of a family that have truly made an impact in the world of contemporary entertainment. Her four and a half vocal octave range and a voice that embodies the soul of Aretha Franklin, the sultry depth of Sarah Vaughan and a dexterity that is unmistakably Houston, Alexis now has her own chance to debut her album to the world one "lesson" at a time.
