Voodoo is the debut studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Alexz Johnson. The album was released on March 9, 2010 through Orange Lounge Recordings and inDiscover Recordings.

The recording process began in mid-2009 when Johnson revealed on her website that she was dropped from Epic Records, and that the album she recorded and planned to release with them, was now shelved due to contractual complications. Some tracks were written as far back as 2005 with intent to be released through the album she planned with Capitol-EMI, but that deal shortly ended as the executives who signed Johnson to the label had been released from their contracts.

After several months of recording, Johnson announced that the album was almost complete and clips of several potential singles were posted on her official site shortly after. Johnson also worked with several musicians during the recording process. She teamed up with guitarist Tim Welch once again after previously working with him on several of the songs she had recorded for Instant Star. As of October, video treatments began being formed and Johnson had applied for the VideoFact grant, funded by MuchMusic, MuchMore and PromoFACT, and learned she was one of 272 other applicants to win in late 2009.

Shortly after, it was announced through AlexzJohnson.com that, due to overwhelming fan response, that "Trip Around The World" would be the first single from the record. While putting the final touches on the album, Johnson flew to New Orleans in January for the filming of the music video with music video director Michael Maxxis. After several days of filming, Johnson flew to Toronto and shot the album photoshoot with photographer Brendan Meadows and did several recorded performances and promotional radio interviews. Later, Johnson worked with Re:Form AVW, a Canadian design firm, to create the album artwork. It was then announced that the album was completely mastered and complete, and sent off to be manufactured February 22, 2010. The album cover was revealed through her official site several days later.

The album was originally set to be released on March 30, in stores and online, but several problems have occurred in terms of the electronic shipments of the album. CD Baby accidentally sold several digital copies of the album weeks before the intended release date, and due to the accidental release, the electronic release date was pushed forward to March 9, but the physical release date stayed the same.
