Overcome - Alexandra Burke Reviews

God I seem to be listening to a lot of music lately! Oh well that just means more reviews to write lol. After hearing the catchy song that was "Bad Boys" I thought I needed to have a look and see if the rest of X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke's album was as good. I wasnt really a big fan of her when she was preforming on the X-Factor ...  Read the complete review

To be honest i wasnt expecting much from this album as i wasnt a big fan of hers when she was on X Factor. I didnt really enjoy hearing her sing big boring ballads every week, and i expected the album to be equally as boring. I have been proved very wrong though! After hearing "bad boys" a few times on the radio i knew i had ...  Read the complete review

Overcome is the debut album release from Alexandra Burke. The standard physical release has thirteen tracks, the iTunes version has fourteen and it's the iTunes version that I'm reviewing here.

I watch x factor every now and then so was aware that Alexandra Burke was last years winner, and hence would go off to America and produce a big album. The main commercial track was Bad Boys with Flo Rida, but its actually the second track with Neyo that made me check this album out on Spotify. Usually I start of on debut albums with a ...  Read the complete review

Overcome is the debut album from last year's X Factor winner Alexandra Burke. With a great balance between up-beat R&B and classic soul it's no wonder that this album went straight to number one. The CD itself is pretty standard with information on the back and an included booklet. The booklet is filled with some great pictures, ...  Read the complete review

Alexandra Burke is the latest winner of British talent show The X Factor, but luckily I don't think she is going to be doing a Leon or Steve Brookstein by disappearing on us a year later. In fact, Alexandra did a Leona and disappeared to American for nearly 12 months after winning the show last December to record her album and it's finally been ...  Read the complete review

"overcome' is a refreshing and surprisingly up beat album from the 2008 XFactor winner Alexandra Burke. The album is a mixture of hip-hop, high energy and catchy tunes and contains a number of collaborations including Pixi Lotte and Flo Rida. Since listening to the album my favorite song has changed daily depending on my mood. 'Gotta Go' and ...  Read the complete review
