Editorial Reviews

2009 debut album from the 2008 X-Factor winner. With a willfully mischievous glint in her eye, 21 year old Alexandra Burke is sitting on one of the hottest Pop debuts of the decade. From the rumbling first bars of her Sci-Fi Disco stormer single 'Bad Boys', to the Red One-fashioned Dancehall groove of 'Dumb', Alexandra's A-list produced Overcome is a party monster of a record, poised to knock the socks off even the most cynical Pop enthusiast. Recorded over six months, Overcome is a collection of club smashes ('All Night,' 'Dumb,' 'Broken Heals') peppered with astonishingly soul-bearing slow jams ('Silence,' 'Perfect.') Created with the help of perhaps the industries most in demand production houses (Roc Nation and Jay-Z, The Phantom Boyz, Red One, Stargate and The Freemasons) the album is a sonic manifestation of Alexandra's ballsy personality, with the lady herself describing the collection as 'a beast.' Syco. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing First Album, January 11, 2010

This is a terrific first album. For those not familiar with Alexandra Burke, she was the winner of the 2008 season of X-Factor, a British version of American Idol. Leona Lewis was the winner of the 2006 season.

Much as I love Leona, I actually enjoy Alexandra more. The tracks are mostly pop. Some are about love and rejection, but several are upbeat and affirming. Alexandra has a great range, with power in both the lower registers and the higher. It certainly doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous as well.

If you want a preview, look up Alexandra Burke on YouTube. Then buy the album.
