Alexandra Burke Re-Teams With Red One For US LP

alex u better work

Singing sensation Alexandra Burke has revealed that she is once again recording in the studio with hitmaker RedOne. The pair originally collaborated last year on the UK version of Alex’s debut LP ‘Overcome’, teaming up this go round to work on new material for the US version of the album, which is due for release in the coming months via Epic Records/Sony. {Source}

To say I’m glad Alex is re-working the album for the US would be an understatement. For, though not an atrocity, the LP should have been leaps and bounds better than it ended up being (especially considering a) its £1 million budget and b) her undeniable talent). In any case, here’s hoping RedOne serves up that ‘good good’ for Alex this time, as his outing on the last album was a hit (‘The Silence’) and miss (‘Broken Heels’) affair. I’m quite optimistic, though. I mean I would bet good money on the US market not lapping up the ‘Bad Boys’-esque tracks, hence something more in the vein of RedOne’s GaGa tracks (‘Bad Romance’, ‘Just Dance’, ‘Monster’) for Alex is both entirely plausible and actually quite exciting as a prospect.

  2. ADE January 13, 2010

    her new song and video are both disgustingly wack

    Yall ain’t gonna like what imma say but……

    Sorry no one cares about this flop. Cassie is SO much better. You people need to ask someone in the street who Alexandra Burke is and they’ll be like ’Who the f*** is that b****?’

    Cassie sold nearly 1,000,000 copies of her album world wide on the back of 2 singles. Not an easy feat. Don’t hate the truth guys. Alex is not relevant and no one cares about her flop ass.

    Nothing she’ll do will be as good as ‘Skydiver’, below, the future world wide smash

    Cassie is the Queen, the voice of R&B and soul. Not everyone is lucky enough to have her calm, soothing tone in their voice like Cassie.

    ‘Electro Love’ by Cassie will be out this year and will be smashing records and blowing Burkes US release out the water…FACT. You better cop that Smash. You heard it from me first. The TRUE wait will be OVA.

    That Cassie reign just won’t let up

    I’m excited. I think she is mad attractive, she can dance, and she can sing. She is the total package. Leona couldn’t survive the expectations, but I think she will. Beyonce and Rihanna are in big trouble now.

    RedOne is responsible for one of the labums weakest tracks Broken Heels…why is she working with him again. She needs to be doing ballads not this dance-pop crap. SMH

  6. KodieBlue January 13, 2010

    Ok… Ok.. Calm Down People. She’s done both Ballads and Dance songs on the Uk version of Overcome, and she’s in the Stuio adding New Material to give the U.S. something New too. She Definitely has an EXPLOSIVE VOICE AND IS A TRUE SINGING TALENT. BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE. ON OVERCOME, THIS CHICK HAS SHOWN THAT SHE CAN DO POP AND DANCE TO MASTERFULLY. AND THERES A LITTLE R&B ON THERE AS WELL.. SHE;s DEFINITELY THE REAL THING, AND OVERCOME IS DEFINITELY BIG IN THE U.K., and PROB WILL BE BIG HERE TOO ONCE SHE GETS FINISHED WITH HER PROMOTIONAL TOUR UP. VOCALLY THIS GIRL BLOWS THE S*** OUT OF 90% OF THE SINGERS OUT THERE. SHE’S YOUNG. VERY YOUNG AND HAS TIME TO GROW. SHE’S DEFINITELY UP THERE WITH AGUILERA AND BEYONCE ALREADY VOCALLY.. OR VERY CLOSE TO IT.. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM. SHE DOMINATED X FACTOR AND IS GOIGN TO DO GREAT IN THE U.S. YOU CAN TELL SHE’S LIKE AGUILERA AND IS VERY CONCERNED AND HANDS ON ABOUT HER WORK AS SHE PUSHES TO HAVE PEOPLE IN HER CAMP DO THINGS TO BETTER THE VIEWER AND LISTENERS EXPERIENCE. SOMETHING THAT SHOWS SHE’S ARTISTICALLY MINDED FIRST WHEN IT COMES TO HER PROJECTS. AND THAT IS SOMETHING YOU HARDLY SEE IN NEWCOMERS. AND THAT IS THE TRY SIGN OF A TRUE ARTIST.. CHRISTINA AGUILERA BIONIC COMING IN MARCH.. ALEXANDRA BURKE OVERCOME COMING IN MARCH BABY!!!! THIS GIRL’S GONNNA BLOW COMPETITION OUT OF THE WATER.. JUST WATCH..

    Sammy were you raised on a street corner where did you learn such bad manners and poor English.There is no need to use the word b**** to refer to anybody except yourself.If you want to compare anyone to Alex why use Cassie who is just a P-diddy jump off with no talent.I am glad that Alex will be starting her US promotional tour this year and the haters will have to step back.She is in the words of Beyonce a Superstar who is a great singer, dancer and performer.Kodieblue I could not put it better myself but agree with your comments Alex has it all.

  8. Tha Phoenix January 14, 2010

    the Queen B herself said that this girl is a superstar…

    That’s all I need to say…

    Peace.

  9. Tha Phoenix January 14, 2010

    Bout Cassie..

    And no, Cassie’s album only sold 198,000 copies WORLDWIDE… FACT.

  10. Ben January 14, 2010

    Sammy what is your problem you cannot stand to see a beautiful sister succeed.Alex has it all and then some.She is about to be launched in Europe so see how far she goes.I know she will become as Beyonce says a World wide superstar.Please do not insult us by mentioning Cassie in the same sentence as any good singers who have class and morals.

  11. TRUTH January 14, 2010

    IS THIS B**** DONE YET? YAAAAAWN FEST! THESE REALITY TALENT SHOWS ARE POINTLESS. FAME ONLY LAST AS LONG AS THE NEXT WINNER. NEXT! WHO CARESSS.

  12. Sammy January 14, 2010

    The reason why you lot are saying Alex has moral is because no man wants that b**** to suck their d***. Cassie blows that h** alex away with her singing. Soothing tones can be better than SHOUTING like what alex does you know, b**** needs to quiet down.

  13. KodieBlue January 14, 2010

    Ok when I said this girls gonna Blow competition put of the water in March I didn’t mean that she;s gonna blow Aguilera out of the water. thats a far stretch and a little overwhelming of competition to even suggest that at this point, BUT Alexandra Burke is without a doubt the most amaxing singer to come along Nexy to Beyonce and Aguilera, which makes me think, most of the singers next to her and Aguilera releasing anything are going to be shadowed by there Reign.. Alexandra definitely deserves the attention for this album here in the states that she’s recieving in Great Britain, and the attention that Aguilera got for Stripped, its just that good… And Cassie, not hating, but cmon now.. Cmon now…

  14. KodieBlue January 14, 2010

    And thanks Sally, its good to know we got an A List Of Supporters on here that Recognize Real Talent I’m definitely going to see this girl in Concert and Buying her album the day its released.. Along with Aguilera’s Bionic which i hear is Just F***** Epic now that its finished.. Its about the future from what she says, and her first single is titled glam. There saying she does it all on the album, Pop R&B Electonic, and another.. Because she’s just Naturally Vocally capable of it.. I think no I know Alexandra is too.. She is already influencing her own style..

    Would it be possible to stop Sammy posting moderator.I do not know why someone would want to come online and show how uneducated, ignorant and poorly raised they are by using foul and disgusting language.We should not need to stoop to swearing as though we do not know better. Young people, women and older folks log on to catch up on this site I know it has been mentioned before that people watch their language but it does not seem to be having any affect.

  17. Christian January 15, 2010

    Well, the girl is just poised to charm the socks off of us her in the States, as her personality has a refreshing quality if you’ve seen any of her interviews. Her voice puts you (or me at least) in the mind of a Toni Braxton-esque type of a vocal quality with the contemporary edge of today (a’la Rihanna). She has the rare distinction of being an artist who can deliver…meaning she can sing her ass off, nail the choreography on a dance track, and hold your focus in her Dolce and Gabanna outfits (they’re signed on to costume her appearances/photos/etc I’ve read) and do it all LIVE! For those reasons plus others it’s safe to say that Beyonce, Lady Gaga and now Alexandra Burke are bringing some integrity back to music, since alot of people must have forgotten than in order to call yourself a singer you have to be able to SING…
