Heal Over – Alex Watson

“Ever since I first heard this song, it became a staple in my playlist and my heart, so it’s an absolute honour and pleasure to rework and cover it in a reggae style. 

Heal Over is a song about hope, that even in the bleakest of times and despite life’s challenges, healing awaits. With that belief, we can weather the storms no matter how hard they may seem. “

(Alex Watson aka s0ngb1rd)

Alex Watson releases her 3rd single on Kufe Records, a warm, roots-infused reggae reinterpretation of KT Tunstall’s beloved song “Heal Over,” offering a fresh perspective that blends heartfelt vocals with laid-back reggae grooves. Produced by Lindel Lewis for Kufe Records, the cover brings new life to the track while honouring the emotional core that made the original resonate.

Driven by a steady reggae rhythm and rich melodic textures, Watson’s version leans into themes of resilience and emotional renewal. The production balances classic reggae sensibilities with contemporary polish, creating a sound that feels both timeless and immediate. Adding a distinctive layer to the arrangement, acclaimed guitarist Ciyo Brown contributes expressive guitar lines that weave seamlessly through the track, elevating its warmth and depth.

This release marks another step in Alex Watson’s growing catalogue of genre-spanning work, highlighting a commitment to reinterpretation with respect and originality. By pairing soulful delivery with thoughtful production, the cover invites listeners to experience “Heal Over” from a new vantage point—one rooted in rhythm, reflection, and hope.

“Heal Over” Alex Watson is available on Kufe Records and all streaming platforms.

Time flies. Its been over 2 years since the last post! Not I’ve been idle; far from it! SQUISH Media is a small consultancy started by Alex Watson in 2014. Attempting to start a business as a black woman in times of ‘austerity’ does not come without its challenges. In fact I would argue, that it comes with peculiar challenges.

However for this post, I’d like to focus on some of the victories of the last few years…

  1. Making it past year 2 – The company may still not have made it to the FTSE 100…but ‘Staying Alive,’ means that I have overcome many obstacles where many others would have faltered.
  2. Securing my first client – This is going back now, back to 2014…but its something we were really too busy to celebrate at the time. We do it now in this season of reflection
  3. More clients – I have mentored individuals that have gone on to win awards, created training programs that have been delievered globally, assisted small companies to get of the gound with social media, consulted on live streaming as well as providing thought leadership. Though I remain humble, I am very proud of what I have achieved thus far.
  4. Collaborated on many music projects in varying capacities across a number of genres: Suburban Blues, Reggae and Hip-Hop.
  5. Last but not least...Managing my band Bastedo and artist Roots Manuva.
