Fresh off her signing to Phase Entertainment Group, Calgary’s Alex Hughes returns with her vibrant new single, “Break All The Way,” out today on all platforms. Marking her first release since joining the award-winning management and agency firm, the track captures a new level of confidence and clarity in Hughes’ sound, delivering her most magnetic performance yet.
Produced by Dan Swinimer (Jojo Mason, Madeline Merlo) and co-written by hitmakers Madeline Merlo, Jason Saenz, and Todd Clark, “Break All The Way” delivers a confident blend of country emotion and pop-R&B flair. Built on a simmering groove and razor-sharp hooks, the track captures the high-stakes tension of a love you know might ruin you – and the pull to keep chasing it anyway.
“‘Break All The Way’ dives into the chaos of a love you know will wreck you – but you keep coming back for more,” says Hughes. “The track blends my country roots with the playful sexiness of the 2000s tracks I grew up obsessing over – like Destiny’s Child’s ‘Say My Name.’ I’ve been dying to share this one with you and I hope it hits you just as hard as it hits me.”
The single also offers an early preview of Hughes’ forthcoming debut album. The project builds on the strength of her recent releases and leans further into the confident pop-country style and emotional edge she’s become known for. It’s a step forward shaped by creative clarity, and a growing sense of artistic self-definition.
Known for her rich, expressive vocals and genre-blurring style, Hughes has built a loyal following through a steady stream of standout releases and commanding live performances. Her 2023 single, “Until This Fire Dies,” earned her a cover placement on Apple Music’s Canada’s Country playlist, and drew further editorial support from Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube.
The two-time Country Music Alberta Awards Horizon Female Artist of the Year nominee has shared stages with Megan Moroney, Josh Ross, Ashley McBryde, and Babyface, performing at marquee venues including Nashville North, Tootsies, and The House of Blues (Sunset Strip). With “Break All The Way,” she continues to expand her sound – balancing pop polish, country storytelling, and the magnetic confidence that’s quickly becoming her trademark.
