A new Alexandra Burke song has surfaced in the form of the summery ‘Start Without You’. Produced by hitmaker RedOne, the track is said to be Burke’s next official single (the album on which it features – her US debut or UK sophomore currently being unknown). Take a listen below…
Ah Alex! This is a tricky one. I say this as Ms. Burke nails the verses, riding the breezy production with uncanny ease. However, all that goodness builds up to an undeniable cheese-fest of a chorus; which is kinda unfortunate.
Still, if paired with a decent enough video, Ms. Burke may be onto another hit…in the UK (as much as we love Alex, this is not gonna float in the US). Not bad, not great either.
Randomness: Does this remind anyone else of Ace of Base?

NOOO!!!! Such a perfect string of singles… then this.
omg noooooo jesus noooo what the helll her working with redone is not good at all, her voice is too good for this
I love this! its going to be the summer anthem!! ITS LIKE ‘HIPS DONT LIE’ its fun, loud and s***! loove it! i wonder who the rapper is?? love the reggae vibe to it!! LOVE IT!
I LOVE IT, AMAZING.
OK it started off well and I like the Island flavour it has, but it quickly became background noise. The chorus is f****** dreadful!
if she starts whining in the video n propa skinning out , this could help the song , i remember when i 1st heard bad boys n broken heels i HATED THEM , Then the videos killed it , and this song is definetly radio friendly , i dunno i think it will do well in the uk , but i need a bit more edge for her to go the u.s with
1 word: PHENOMINAL!! she does it again!! sounds soo different to every single track that is out in the charts!!!
Just makes you want smile and dance and shake your booty 😉 love it! and I agree it does remind of ‘hips dont lie’ this diva is soo versatile!
I love the campness in this song, its soo great and catchy mmmmm.. reminds me of the carnival which i cannot wait for!! love this its soo good didnt expect her next single to be like this… love the risk she took & will do well for sure…
I LOVE IT OMG LMAO
THIS IS AMAZING
It sounds good to me. US would like this, but not as a debut single to introduce a new artist…sounds forgettable for someone of Burke’s caliber.
Come on MIA where are u? i thought u would have been waiting for something to do with Alex so u can post some s***.
Is RedOne or whoever wrote this serious? Alexandra should be getting better material than this! This is just as ‘meh’ as Broken Heels.
Mix “Take Me There” by Mya and Blackstreet with “Hey Baby” from No Doubt!
Love Alex, but I’m like: “Are you serious?”
B*******.
FLOP.
ASHY.
DONE.
What the f*** is this tosh??
Crap. What ever happened to the release of the utterly monumental ‘The Silence’?
Quite a mis-step there Ms. Burke.
WTF NAAAAA ALEX I LOVE U BABY GIRL BUT THIS SOUNDS HORRIBLE

Loves It 🙂
It sounds ok, sounds like she is trying to capitalize off of “Rude Boy” though.
Sounds like a World Cup song to be quite honest LOL…still it’s MUCH better than JLS’s new single :\ but I was expecting something much stronger…it’s a good idea, the whole island vibe and that but the hook is so cheesy it sounds like something you’d hear at a World Cup match :S
I’m sure there are better songs she has made that are to be coming out 😀 Pleeease lord I beg you!! Make sure Alex comes with something HOT!! In fact, please make Michelle Williams come back sooooon!! She’s amazing in theatre but I’m missing her music, UNEXPECTED was soooo f i y a h (as were her previous albums) and I need more more more (how do you like it? how do you like it? – lol remember that song anyone?)

Sorry alex, as much as I love you, i have to say this song is gonna be a flop. Silence as the next single please!!!
I like it
dinah king much
At least its not as bad as Broken Heels…
i didnt want to like this song because its so cheesy and everybodys slatin it but i do! i wish she’d never released broken heels and released this in its place
Kinda retro, but I love it!!!
I love you Alex, but I don’t love this. It is beneath you.
That is all.
The song is obviously a grower but for Summer it is good for Alex to move in a different direction and show versatility.I know alot of people hated the All Night Long remix and are now in love with it.The same will happen with this songs once the video is out and she starts performing live.
Not too sure about this. I mean, it’s alright but nahh… Sounds like a kiddy tv show intro.
Alex is just showing that she can do alot of different styles pop, dance, carnival tunes and ballads.People are always saying she is not original and there is nothing different about her but who can get away with so many different styles and do it so well.
Love this its simply amazing! whats in the charts that is like this?? needs abit of polishing and this will be A-CLASS standard work! well done Alex B.
DEAD
She needs to start sucking somebody’s c*** for good songs cuz she’s fallen off LMBAO. Thats what flops do, f*** for hot tracks. ask Joss Stone, Cassie and Chrissy Milian they know whats up LAWL.i’m sure she take to it like duck to water she’ll get down to business to save her flop career no probz LMAO.
Mia/Toya is so desperate and how sad that she always sinks to being vulgar as well as stupid.It is just that she has been hoping Alex’s career would be dead by now and she is still having hits and will do with Starts without You.Love it.
God, I’m totally in love with this track! 😀
Love the top that Ms. Burke is wearing in this picture. Could you please tell me where I can find this top?
Thank you,

I received several emails from people asking where can they find the top that Ms. Alexandra Burke is wearing in this photo of her?
Wow looking at the comments everyone hates it or loves it. I personally love it, it reminds me of the beach or a theme aprk nice an relaxing 😀
I love it!!!!
I love it, great summer tune.
If I am being honest I love alex soo much And really enjoyed her performance at the summertime ball on sunday but yet I don’t think she has yet been given material tht will really help set her explode in other countries all tho her songs have been hits and great tunes only one/two of them have hit the number one spot nd tht was only there for a week.s
Simon better start giving her better material or other wise people are gonna start to loose intrest in her which will be such a shame cause she is one of the countries best singers nd could give any star a run for their money ;s
IS THIS FOR REAL??
YEAH MAN LOVE IT GOOOOOOOOD. TOP TEN ALEAST!! IT SO GOOD WITH LOUD BEATS IN THE SONG!!!!
WOW BIG RYTHM SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!
what a load of garbage it sounds like a cbbs song and she should stop wearing those shorts with thunder thighs like that
