So appaz The Beast is gonna give music another chance after whatever musical she is playing in right now.
She's been recording and posting about it, so it's safe to say she willrelease something. What do we think? Can she pull a James Arthur and make an actual comeback??
I'm hedging my bets on a Broadway covers album at Christmas.
Is she signed to a major label? Can't really see her happening again though, she's all but forgotten about and she won't have Radio 1 on her side.
aye can,t wait for all the hitz the elephant songstress is gönna brang 2 us x

Happy for her to secure a major deal after Strictly. I just hope the music's good and she somehow incorporates a jive into a music video.
RIP Tim
OMYGOD I AM SHAKING
REALLY IF THIS BITCH IS PLAYING WITH MT EMOTIONS LIKE THIS I WILL DROPKICK HA ASS OMAGAAAAAAD
BYEEE She's signed to the same label The Smurfes once were, lemme not
Same label as Una Healy. Coming for that #56 album SMASH
Omg yesssss *_*
Wait what, Decca?! Not that they're a bad label, but they're more of a rock/jazz label? Still, it's under UMG which is good! Maybe she will be under a different division of UMG and Decca is temporary or a mistake?
Lets not get our hopes up lmaoo
I was adamant she would release an album of Broadway covers after Strictly... maybe this will still happen?
The ultimate in your face would be if she has a number 1 single called "ok.com"
I'm sure it'd be no more in your face than "Shout Out To My Ex"
Decca makes me think that it'll be like a theatrical vocal focused sort of album, not necessarily covers but it won't be pop bangers anyway Tbh with her doing a lot of theatre it's not like it's out of the blue although I'd prefer pop bangers of course. I think getting somewhere with the West End side of her career could be a really good thing to come from Strictly anyway.
The Boy Does Nothing part 2 plz kthnxbi x
I just want another Good Night Good Morning
All very Kimberley Walsh isn’t it????
I hope it’s not a songs from the stage style affair.
Plenty of people did stage albums before Kimberley Walsh?
Actually that's a good point about Decca though, having Decca opposed to one of the big pop labels or something similar probably means a better chance for another album as they won't have as much of an expectation so if it just goes top 20 they'll probably be happy to chuck out another. I doubt these sort of albums really cost much anyway as they're largely if not solely covers. Perhaps it can be a surprise success and a pop label picks her up, we can dream...
I meant being a Strictly finalist, signing to Decca and (most likely for Alex), releasing a covers album, not the stage album aspect!
Ohhhh I forgot Kim was on Decca And I'm tired af so didn't even consider the Strictly aspect.
Queen is getting MARRIED to the absolute hunk Josh! So happy for them both and can't wait to hear whatever new music she brings out this year.
This is what she wrote on the gram:
Awww bless congrats Alexandra!
I didn't know she was still making music.
She should work with Erick Morillo again, an Elephant part 2 would be good, although club bangers are not in fashion at the minute
She has posted a photo of sheet music captioned "announcement 8am tomorrow". The beast is coming *.
New single hopefully!
It's 8.02 and still waiting probably need to cool it haha
Bitch is going on tour *_*
With what - her 2010 album?!
She confirmed this album
She's performing G-A-Y on 17th February so a new single will be released by the 16th at the very latest *.* The OCC has confirmed she'll be bringing the bangers on the album:
"There is going to be a single" wow some confidence there
I hope this is a success to prove XF winners still have it
Little Mix still have it
First play of her new single Shadow is on Radio 2 at 12:05pm on Saturday!!
Hope she brings more unused and unknown expressions to the country, like an elephant in the room!
'That boy is shadowing me, shadowing me!'
Or maybe 'Throwin shade like a shadooow'
No one has ever heard those before!
I've got a feeling she will go down the more MOR route with this.
I want a banger, that's what she was known for!
Ew at a Radio 2 premiere (on a Saturday!) I hope it's available from Friday at least.
I'd imagine she's going down the classic-but-modern Whitney Houston route.
It just premiered!
I like it.
The single is being released on the 23rd February 👀
I don't get the point of premiering it and not releasing it straight away 😂
It should at least be available for pre-order!
This will probably get taken down at some point, but here it is
It’s a nice song, not bad, but it’s not what I need from Alex.
It's so weird to hear her singing again! I like it on first listen, it's not too dissimilar to some of the midtempos from 'Overcome'. It's made me feel more confident about the album being of good quality - which has now been pushed back to 16th March.
It plods along like something from the early 90s!
Not bad on first listen. Time will tell if it's a grower or a no-er.
Yeah definitely it sounds like something Mica Paris would have released in like 1992 and peaked at #18, remixed a bit for 2018
It's nothing special and what an odd release strategy!!
Alexandra bringing back the held back release strategy *_*
This video is far superior in quality and I’m kinda hooked on it ngl
I paused Mabel - My Luvah for this, but I'm gong back to that. Very plodding, very cheesy. Held-back releases are no longer a thing, just like this sound
the truth is...
This is so Atomic Kitten 'Feels So Good' era reject, it hurts!! I'd be here for this if this was 2002, but I can't. Sorry Burkey.
Let's all listen to a superior song with the same theme:
I quite like it, nothing special but nice enough. It does make me think of Atomic Kitten though!
I quite like it but there’s too much fiddling with her voice as it hardly sounds like her at all.
Spotify pre-save https://lnk.to/ABSPSFP
So boring.
I like it personally. A lot better than I thought it was going to be and she sounds great .
oh no it's so boring.
Random; I love the song overcome btw, so good.
Misfire. Should've had a The Boy Does Nothing-type number.
Shadow is so good, it is lovely to have her back!
Ehh it's okayyy but it does make her sound about 40. This is the kind of thing I'd expect X Factor never-has-beens like Rowetta or Tesco Mary to be releasing, not Alexandra Burke.
It does boggle why she (presumably) chose this direction after just being on a platform to re-launch her career. Like...it's exactly the kind of song I can see maybe appealing to the higher end of Radio 2's audience and possibly anyone that has lingering affection for Alex herself, but it's not exactly going to pick up lots of new fans.
Bitch did thaT
I'm really not sure about "Shadow"...
I hope she can have some success with this, I really like Shadow!
Very simple but she looks fab
It reminds me of a mixture of Eternal and Atomic Kitten! I like it nice and catchy.
"Shadow" is almost so dreadful that it's enjoyable!
She had performances on ITV (Saturday Night Takeaway) and BBC One (Bruce Forsyth: A Celebration) this weekend:
Alex performs from 1:58. What is up with Joe McElderry's face?! Has he forgotten how to sing? :| I can't find her performance from the Bruce Forsyth programme on YouTube but I imagine she performed a cover there as well. A shame she isn't promoting her new music at all.
OMG, this is such a great album! Queen has come through and delivered!
Just asked alexa to play the latest album and she's playing 'Overcome' ... I'll stick with it for now
Alex trumps so many popstars vocally, but this album is not the tea
Dare I ask if there is any songs even resembling a banger on here?
This is an amazing album, I am surprised to see it getting hate on here!
She delivers beautiful vocals
The album ad is...really something... https://twitter.com/alexandramusic/status/975803911293501445/video/1
Can you remember when TOTP Saturday did a skit called "20 Quid Pop Vid" and they had to recreate their music videos on a budget of just £20???
Well...
I think there was only one song on this album that I actually enjoying listening to. Such a shame that with her revived career she couldn't do anything more exciting, it's not like this move to MOR music has paid off as it's only peaked two places higher than her last album 6 years ago.
However in MOR career positives, she's been announced to play Svetlana Sergievsky in the West End revival of Chess from 26th April until 2nd June.
I guess the positive of this is that it peaked higher than HOH
I'm pretty sure Heartbreak On Hold's first week figure was about double this though?
I’m guessing she used the money she saved from that free coffee to fund that promo video
Will it even manage a second week top 100?
Those ads aren’t actually airing, right?
The UK tour has been cancelled
They said scheduling conflicts so people are going OTT that she'll be an XF judge It's probs code for low ticket sales lmao
Yeah the album was shit so nobody had the desire to see the bitch
Low ticket sales is likely the reason.
She should do XF really, she could do with a reality TV boost to her career, even a small one.
I know she did Strictly but she got a lot of flack for that didn't she?
Considering the amount of flack she got for her one show guest stint, I don’t think that will give a bigger boost than a show with double the viewers.
Also the focus is surely even more on her as one of four judges than it is when she's dancing, she got shit on Strictly for crying over her dead mum and being happy to advance another week so with how her guest stint went over in mind plus how people get over X Factor, I doubt she'd offer herself up for what would almost certainly be a disaster.
She would be horrendous as a judge her guest stint alone put a lot of people off her personality and ok.com inpaticular is now infamous.
She may have talent but she comes across horrendously on shows insincere and OTT basically the same way Jessie J acts i think that’s why her early popularity didn’t sustain onto albums two and three and to go on tour now just wouldn’t work unfortunately even in small venues she’s best off sticking to theatre as that’s where she’ll draw crowds and earn money
