I just ordered this album today as I thought quite a few of her tracks were very good. I wasn't quite sure when I first only went through a couple of them, but after hearing all of them I decided to purchase the album. I think Alexandra's going for the pop style judging by the style of this album. Can't wait to hear it in full CD quality, rather, than the crap sounding samples they've got on the site. Anyone else an Alexandra fan? I don't know whether I'm a fan yet as I'll have to wait to see what her next album's like.

I think the album is good, i can see her getting a few more No.1 with the singles on theire i.e. All night long, Silence etc. And to be honest also...the song that was a bonus track "it's over" is my favourite song. Love it

Yeah, I really like it as well. It's got quite a few catchy tunes on it. I also bought it directly through amazon as I wanted to support Alexandra as I really like her. I'm really looking forward to getting it through the post.

I'm an Alex fan, so I'm probably quite biased. But it's a really good album, imo. I could see many of these songs being hits.

I hope you enjoy the album!

It's quite a strong album, i was much more impressed with this than Leona's debut. Quite a few stand out tracks and a strong effort all round.

Really good album

'The Silence' is so fantastic. Lot of meaning in that song.

I'm surprised how much I like Alex's album. I wasn't hugely impressed with the clips I heard, but the songs in full are mostly very appealing. I preferred Alex singing ballads on the show so my favourites are Overcome, The Silence and They Don't Know, but the uptempo's have grown on me too.

I'd say it's a very solid debut with the potential for a good few hits.

Yes, I can very well see this album being popular. It's a very pop album with quite a few of the tracks on it. If she carries on making albums like this, I really can see her doing well in the music business.

i was really surprised by the album, i love every song especially dumb, the silence, nothing but the girl and overcome. i've played continuously since i bought it and i really love everything... though i think she could be stretched more vocally, but as a debut i think its very strong

I do agree that Vocally it could have gone further but what i think has done alex a favour is going in a different direction to what people expected.

For example, a lot of us thought that her first single of 2009 would be a Leona type ballad, but it wasn't. Therefore, the comparisons of Leona and Alexandra have gone. Which makes them both artists in their own right.
