Alexandra Burke talks new album, leaving RCA
Quote:
Alexandra Burke has teased that her new album is "coming sooner" than fans think.
The star is currently in New York recording tracks for her third collection, after parting ways with Sony label RCA earlier this year.
"I don't want to put a tag on the music, but at the end of the day my voice is soulful so the music will always be passionate and soulful," Burke told That Grape Juice.
"I'd describe my "new sound" as a "Whitney Houston meets Coldplay". It's pure, it has influences of pop, soul, R&B, even hip-hop - it's really everything I love.
"But I'm making sure the focus is on my voice. The album is coming sooner than my fans think it is. I'm working on it now."
She added: "In the meanwhile, I'm looking forward to giving them something as a pure Thank You for their support before that."

Alexandra Burke has spoken about her decision to part ways with her record label.
The singer left Sony label RCA earlier this year after they came to a mutual decision to terminate her record deal.
Speaking about the departure, Burke told That Grape Juice: "As everyone knows, I was with Syco and then I moved to RCA for my second album.
"We had a great run, I was always treated like family, but then it got to a point where I knew there was only so much jumping around I could do on stage."
She continued: "I really wanted to strip it all back and have my music be about my voice.
"Doing everything I did before came from the heart, but RCA still wanted a lot of the pop stuff, which was great but I remembered the reason I won The X Factor is because I sang my heart out.
"People voted for a voice and I want my third album to be strictly about my voice. The label didn't meet eye-to-eye when it came to deciding what I'd do.
"It was a mutual decision and they were and still are so great to me. But now I really want to go for it."
Burke added: "I'm working with Drake's producers right now, and there's so much magic I want to create right now and I can do that with Kevin [Liles]. He 'gets' me as a person, as an artist… as a young woman.
"He gets where I want to be and that's what I needed. I'm so humbled by the support he's given me. So I'm going back in ]the studio] with a lot of producers who understand me… Rico Love is one of them." (source)

 I'm really hyped to hear what she's gonna do for this album. I hope it's more like Overcome.
