Alexandra Burke could be working with producers Timbaland and P Diddy on her debut album, reports say.
Earlier this week it emerged the UK singer (who won the latest series of X Factor) had signed a multi-album US record deal worth £3 million.
An insider tells The Sun that the London-based singer has caught the attention of Sean Combs and Timba, who may work on her first set of original songs.
If all goes to plan, the producers could help Alexandra crack America, in the same way fellow Brit singer Leona Lewis has done. Burke herself has shown an interest in Stateside success and is expected to release her first LP in the Autumn.
What is the last thing Diddy produced? He hasn't been hot since Honey by Mimi.
I agree .. Honey was like his peak .. and then after that .. he had a HUGE fall .. he used to be big not just in singing but making music. But Damaged was a hot song .. nothing speacial or record breaking but it def was catchy. But I agree ... Diddy is not hot anymore .. he lost his touch when he started thinking he was THE ****.
2008 was not even 2 months ago lol but this is true. Damaged is old and I think the only thing Diddy has been working on is Day 26's sophmore album ... not like that is a success in the bag anyways.
. even Duffy hasn't made any thing special, this girl doesn't impress me much
Duffy & Adele wont be successful in the US. IMO they dont appeal to American music culture. Duffy is just too unique I think for American & Adele .. ehh noo. Still kind of shocked Chasing Pavements is get so much sales. Probably because people only started hearing of her since she appeared on the Grammys.
She needs to be POP or else the Beyonce comparisons will come in, i really hope she doesn't work with any urban producers like Swiss & Rich Harrison. Maybe just a Darkchyld and Timbaland produced album would be HOT =) and throw in some Neptunes.
Leona isn't REALLY that big in the US as we all thought she would be so Alexandra has an open door since her music will be VERY mainstream, she dances and has personality.
Oh and Diddy produced "Poetry", "Is Anybody Listening" and "Showstopper" which are all good songs, so maybe he can make her a hit, just nothing too urban!
