Alex is part of "Bound: A James Barry Musical," a Charli Eglinton concept album.
Alex plays Mary-Ann Bulkley (James Barry's mother) in the album.
Here's the opening song, "Doors." It doesn't feature Alex, but I suppose sets a tone of the rest of the album:

The album doesn't have too much of Alex, but it's surprisingly good.
Alex is technically in 2 songs (although in the 2nd of her songs, she just sings for a bit near the end):
- Girl in a Man's World
- One of a Kind
If you're planning to listen, it will help to read the James Barry Wikipedia article first unless you already know the story:

I think "Lucky" is my favourite track on the album overall. There are 2 separate characters in the song that have similar voices and the song might not make sense on its own. You kind of have to listen to the songs that precede it to understand who the two characters are and what's happening in the song.
