Posted October 25, 201014 yr So it has finally been revealed. The Silence is going to be remixed and released sometime in December. Anyone else happy?? :D
October 25, 201014 yr loved this song since album came out first heard it thoguht yes instant hit instant #1 so glad it finally being released
October 25, 201014 yr Author Personally, I think if they don't allow people to download the silence from the album, then it wont peak too early and Alex may have a good chance of being #1. Obviously she will be on The X Factor performing.
October 25, 201014 yr I think the album version will start to climb once the video is out and radio airplay begins.It depends what they have done with the reworked version it is hard to believe that it could be better than the original but really hoping ALEX HAS HER FOURTH NO 1.I am sure most fans will still download the new version as The Silence is such a fan favourite.Loved it on POG last year.
October 25, 201014 yr I imagine they'll do what they did with 'Spirit' and remove the album just before the XFactor performance so that all sales will count towards the track in one specific week or so. 'Run' sold over 400k by the end of 2008 with only 3/4 weeks of sales and she managed to sell more albums, due to 'Run' being made "album-only" for 2 or 3 weeks and that still managed number 1 with huge sales once 'Run' was available for download. A similar thing will happen to Alex with this choice I think.
October 25, 201014 yr I'm not too keen on the sound of this 'remix', as far as RedOne's attempts at ballads go, 'The Silence' was perfection. Didn't Alexandra say her next single was going to be a duet with another male artist(s)? Oh, God if she collaborates again...
October 25, 201014 yr How do we think it will do on radio airplay seeing as this is not an uptempo number from Alex.I hope R2 will playlist, not sure about Capital and Kiss. Heart, Smooth, Magic are sure to support.I hope it is not download only and is released a week before Overcome deluxe.
October 25, 201014 yr If it is a collab with someone like JLS I will die. :( The original is amazing as it is, perfect for this time of year even if it should've been released last year imo. But oh well, better late than never!
October 26, 201014 yr Who can speak French what is this article saying not sure if they are excited by The Silence or are damning it. :lol: http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Alexandra-Bu...news-71277.html
October 26, 201014 yr Who can speak French what is this article saying not sure if they are excited by The Silence or are damning it. :lol: http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Alexandra-Bu...news-71277.html There: Alexandra Burke will soon propose a new single from her album "Overcome" which was reprinted on the occasion of Christmas. If "Start Without You" heralded the release expected on November 29, "Silence" will very soon have a movie clip in order to continue the intensive promotion that does not yet impose the album charts. Alexandra Burke, winner of the fifth edition of the English program "X Factor" (2008), has finally decided to choose the title "Silence" as the extract used for the promotion of his album "Overcome." Without doubt one of the most successful, it could be mistaken to be confused with a piece of Leona Lewis both voice, melody and instrumentation are similar to songs from the album "Echo" (2009) of the latter. Yet these are not the same producers who are in control of these two discs. Indeed, the title "Silence" is produced by the famous RedOne which began in 2005 an international career which peaked this year. He also worked on the track "Broken Heels," which was ranked in the UK charts, as well as on the song "Dumb" and more recently to "Start Without You", last single as of Alexandra Burke. This last piece announces new edition of the album "Overcome" (November 29), which until then to impose sentence in France. If a release in the physical format was initially proposed, the project failed, and only a digital version is available in France. Maybe "Silence" could give new life to this album that tumbles into the UK charts.
October 27, 201014 yr but in the us ?! That would be the most random music video shown over there. :mellow: Well what was it like then ?
October 27, 201014 yr Author If anybody happens to find the video online, could you please post the link? Im dying to see the video.
October 27, 201014 yr I'm in the UK at the moment! The video is not as bad as SWY was, but I was a bit disappointed. It's all in B&W which is quite refreshing, but the scenes are a little boring and lifeless. She also seems to be wearing a man's shirt at one point, and it really doesn't work! I don't think the track has changed at all from the album version?!

October 27, 201014 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3qAYsnCMCA. This is the link for the video. LOW QUALITY and the first verse is missing. lovin the new adlibs Yes the video is out early, makes a huge change for Syco.It is No 10 on VIVA Top 10 today.Looks really good and the song changes are subtle not huge, a choir, a few more high notes and Alex sounds less raspy.
