Alexandra Burke Announces New Single

Published: Tuesday 26th Oct 2010 by Sam

Pop force Alexandra Burke has revealed that the latest single to be lifted from the re-release of her ‘Overcome’ LP will be…

The Silence

Already a fan-favourite, the soaring ballad was confirmed by the X-Factor star to be her newest release earlier today on Twitter.

The re-recorded version of ‘The Silence’ proceeds #1 smash ‘Start Without You’ – which itself became Burke’s third UK chart-topper last month. If there’s any justice it will follow suit. For not only does the song boast Burke’s most impressive vocal showing to date, it’s ‘big ballad’ form is particularly befitting to the forthcoming Holiday season.

Peep Alex’s rousing performance of the song on The Paul O’ Grady Show from earlier this year below. Burke is set to perform the single on the X-Factor next month.

The ‘Overcome’ re-release hits stores on November 29th.

  20. k October 26, 2010

    FINALLY!!!! This will be a huge hit and help shift albums!

  21. antha October 26, 2010

    HUSHBITCH
    Where Leona @? How’d her last album do?

    As much as I disliked everything out side of Badboys, Alexandra’s record comp saw the route music was going so they made a album that would work in the current market the only way to keep interest or any chance of a successful debut. Sad but it just might be what ensures she gets a 2nd album.

    Leona has a superior range and years of coaching to ensure control but lets not keep doing the Leona v Alexandra thing, their both in the industry and will probably both get the chance to make another album, that proves they can co exist.

    FINALLY A DAMN BALLAD 2 SHOW OFF THE REASON SHE WON X-FACTOR….

    Been longing for a ballad from Alexandra jeeeez.

    Time for the vocals to shine

  24. Dave October 26, 2010

    People who hate are so lame. Alexandra is so talented, but I swear this is the same version of “The Silence” I already heard, & this performance is old. She did good though

  25. theman October 26, 2010

    She’s beautiful.

  26. theman October 26, 2010

    This girl is awesome.

  27. Jay1 October 26, 2010

    *YAWNS*

  28. Muni October 26, 2010

    Alex is great shut up HATERS!! GO ALEX

  29. Matthew October 26, 2010

    Lets the haters hate what do they fear so much about Alex.Is it the fact that she is such an all rounder she can do ballads, dance music and sing live like she has been in the buisness for 10 years.Bring it Alex if this is another No 1 for you you will equal the most No 1’s for a UK female artist.

  30. J October 26, 2010

    If Alexandra Burke didn’t have any haters I would be worried. Haters are a good thing. She needs them, if people care enough to chat s*** about her then she’s doing something right.

  32. HUSHBITCH October 26, 2010

    EMMM sorry but I’m not hatin on Alex
    But we all know she lacks star quality..
    Yess she can sing but better than most … no.
    She can dance .. Better than the best .. No

    Shes average at everything…that’s what makes her
    A BASIC B****. Love this song tho.

  33. Peterke! October 26, 2010

    My favorite number ever!

    Love it so much and I’m so happy that it’s gonna be released. 😀

    I can’t wait!

  34. Anonymous October 26, 2010

    She has a hell of a voice!

  35. English Babe* October 26, 2010

    well said Antha.

    i love this girl and supported her during her X Factor auditions, was afraid that she would not be anymore relevant i only liked bad boys too but i knew all those other songs were to keep mainstream interested.

    i agree this generation has a different taste to music but at least her songs have been chart toppers but im glad she is releasing this song.

    her voice is amazing and i love leona too.

  36. FUTURESTARdelux October 26, 2010

    1. I F****** HATE PETER ANDRE (TEAM PRICE!)

    2. FINALLY! THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG AND I GOTTA BE FAIR THAT WAS A POWERFUL PERFORMANCE, SHE SOUNDED LIKE TONI BRAXTON A BIT.
    I WILL SAY THAT SHE NEEDS A NEW STYLIST THOUGH BECAUSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE CLOTHES SHE’S IN ARN’T SUITED TO HER BODY TYPE AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THOSE JIMMY CHOO’S SHE’S ALWAYS WEARING WITH HER TOES HANGING OVER THE EDGE….

    3. THE LEONA V ALEX THING IS TIRED, WHY EVEN BRING THAT UP? THEY ARE LIKE 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SINGERS, LEONA IS IN THE MARIAH STYLE AND ALEX IN THE WHITNEY. WE ALL KNOW THAT ALEX CAN DANCE, SING ETC BUT I AGREE SHE’S MORE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR THAN ACTUAL “STAR POWER” LEONA IS TOO SHY THOUGH WHICH MAKES SOME PEOPLE THINK SHE’S BORING (SHE ISN’T) IF SHE HAD RELEASED “OUTTA MY HEAD” INSTEAD OF “HAPPY” AS THE LEAD SINGLE “ECHO” WOULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER AND FYI @ANTHA “ECHO” STILL SOLD 2.,600,000 AND YOU KNOW SIMONISN’T GONNA LET HER NEXT ALBUM BOMB BECAUSE OF POOR SINGLE CHOICES.

  37. CUTTIE October 27, 2010

    Extremely POWERFUL that took my breathe away honestly! Glad that shes singing it solo! FANTASTIC SONG!

  38. Khloe October 27, 2010

    @ Husbitch Alex is not average in either singing or dancing. Do not let your preference for Leona over Alex xloud your mind.

    Alex is world class. with just less than 2 years of professional training & experience her vocal ability, dancing and stage presence is WORLD CLASS. Not many artists today have what she has got & presently in the music scene globally I think Alex is in the top 10 list of incredible singers/outstanding performers.

    Alex is underrated and the British public does not help with giving her a hard time with so much comparisons & negativity towards most of what she does. But of ALL the x factor winners/contestants I think Alex is the best (including Leona). Don’t get me wrong Leona is a good singer but that is it she may have a 20 octave range but she doesn’t make her songs believable where as Alex does e.g Halleluyah, The Silence (when she sings you believe every word & feel the song in any way it relates to you). Plus Leona has been extremely luck Simon took her by the hand to Ophra Winfrey show which gave her the platform she needed in America. Lets be honest for some one with that good a start in career Leona on her own has BOMBED it big time, her only legacy is bleeding love which was just a LUCKY song nothing special I know anyone at that time could have a hit with the song. There after Leona can’t really sell records without the X Factor like Alex & JLS do.

    IF Leona had won the x factor between 2008 & now she would have been dropped by Syco b/c she wouldn’t be able to sell any decent amount of music & owing by the constant trust of competition by the media & other people Alex has done INCREDIBLY OUTSTANDING.

    That is why I hold that Alex is the BEST X factor winner/contestant she is what the music industry is about can sing emotional & convincing ballads & do incredible up tempos.

    Even JLS I think they are OVER RATED by both the media & with the help of obsessed teenage girls they are average singers whose voices hardly blend together as a group. Forget the auto tuning used in studios I’m talking LIVE singing which in any case they have hardly done since leaving the X Factor but have most often resorted to miming.

    lmfao @ khloe’s pressed ass.

    are you alexandra’s mum or something?
