Is it just me or does the beat in 'Overcome' (song) sound veryyyy similar to Ms Sparks - Battlefield? As well as the overall structure?

I'm in LOVE with 'All Night Long' now! My joint favourite with 'Bad Boys' & 'Good Night, Good Morning'! It reminds me of something that Michelle Williams would record.

Is it just me or does the beat in 'Overcome' (song) sound veryyyy similar to Ms Sparks - Battlefield? As well as the overall structure?

 

Both produced by The Runways.

so after lots of playing since saturday here's my ratings

 

bad boys - 7/10

good night good morning - 8/10

the silence - 10/10 (my joint fave)

all night long - 8/10

bury me - 6/10 (only one that not keen on yet)

broken heels - 8/10

dumb - 10/10

overcome - 9/10

gotta go - 7/10

you broke my heart - 7/10

nothing but the girl - 10/10

they dont know - 8/10

 

missing hallelujah off always skip it wish it wasnt even on as bonus tbh lol

 

totally love the album cant decide what singles would or should be released as i can see at least 7 possible singes which just wont happen lol

 

my choices though if had to would be

 

bad boys (obviously already out)

good night good morning

dumb /nothing but the girl

the silence

This is such a great album. I love it. The ballads are amazing, especially The Silence. Goosebumnps. Love All Night Long, Nothing But The Girl, Broken Heels, Goodnight Good Morning.

 

Im just not to sure about Bury Me, but other than that, very good album.

I'm hoping for a January/February release of The Silence, an early May release of either Good Night Good Morning/Broken Heels, a late June release of the other one or Overcome and a November re-release of the album with an up or low tempo lead single depending on the 4th single. So

 

Bad Boys

The Silence

GNGM/Broken Heels

(GNGM/Broken Heels depending on above)/Overcome

New single from re-release.

If I was to go to pic the singles then it would be "Bad Boys" followed by "The Silence" (she said she hopes for a ballad as next single) then possibly Good Night Good Morning or All Night Long

Very very impressed with the majority of this album. A great start to what will hopefully be a long career

 

Bad Boys 10/10

Good Night Good Morning 9/10

The Silence 8/10

All Night Long 10/10

Bury Me 6/10

Broken Heels 9/10

Dumb 8/10

Overcome 7/10

Gotta Go 8.5/10

You Broke My Heart 8/10

Nothing But The Girl 9/10

They Dont Know 8/10

What's with all the 'Bury Me' hate? :( It's one of my favourites so far. I think the album trails off as it goes on, the last 3 or 4 are the weakest on the album for me.

'Broken Heels' is simply BRILLIANT. If they don't release that as a single at some point, they are officially nobs.

I don't think they should release Broken Heels. Dumb does the fun electropop thing much better, All Night Long is super classy and full of hooks, and The Silence is simply massive. Singles sorted.

All Night Long needs to be a single

OK, I may re-edit this with views later on, but for now:

 

Bad Boys 8/10

Good Night Good Morning 7/10

The Silence 8/10

All Night Long 8/10

Bury Me (6 Feet Under) 7/10

Broken Heels 7/10

Dumb 6.5/10

Overcome 8/10

Gotta Go 7.5/10

You Broke My Heart 8/10

Nothing But The Girl 6/10

They Don't Know 5/10

Hallelujah 5/10

Hey guys bought this monday - FAB album the best ive bought for ALONG time good on alex for this great first album!! :thumbup:

I didn't really like this to begin with, but after a few more listens I can safely say this is a great album. Broken Heels is my current favourite I think!

Nothing But The Girl, All Night Long, Broken Heels, Good Night Good Morning, The Silence all need to be singles!

 

This is a great first album.

Wasn't sure where to post these, but they have made me want to marry Alexandra Burke :lol:

JESUS CHRIST - THAT LAST ONE IS HOT.

She just sang on Paul O'Grady. I love her and know she's an amazing singer, BUT THAT WAS f***ING EPIC. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, I just sat there with my jaw open for most of it. Wow. Take a performance like that to the USA and she will BLOW UP there.

Yeah, she sung The Silence, absolutely phenomenal.

So is 'The Silence' the next single? :o (PLEASE SAY IT IS! 'Overcome' is nothing compared)
