Deluxe is just the digital but buy the digital songs and buy the album physically
Yep, that's what I'll be doing. Thank you!

I agree, the title track is great.

I am now on the track called Tonight. Hmm, i don't know but the singles released have done this album no favors compared to what else im hearing. The production becomes a lot stronger and a lot more Ibiza european filled by in a way that isn't comparable to what else is being done by a female at the moment.

This is exactly the vibe I get.....the previews do NOT do the songs justice imo....some of the tracks are really fresh sounding....I love the retro synths and effects on the HOH middle-8 and tracks like Tonight and Fire are real club stompers to me...

Yes its true, very fresh sounding, whats annoying is that pretty much every song on here is better than the singles, im totally confused as to why they chose those as singles.

I don't get it either.....in fact I'd say that the singles they picked are the weakest on the album besides Love You That Much....

I've listened to about 8/12 songs, I don't think it's for me. However, the vocal on What Money Can't Buy is sublime and Between The Sheets is a really good song. Probably would've proffered abit more variation for me but aslong as her fans love it then that's all that matters.

Was expecting this album to be no good, but I absolutely love it. What Money Can't Buy is stunning, the production throughout is much better than the 2 singles and my favourite is Heartbreak on Hold! Very pleased.

Never really been a fan of Alexandra Burke. Amazing voice but when she isn't signing and she's on TV she is muted in my house. So annoying.

Anyway her first album was ok. Just ok.

This album however is worse. My copy arrived from Sainsbury's today and have listened to it pretty much all day.

Absolutely hate how she is trying to take credit for virtually the entire album - she wrote like 2 songs. Sorry co-wrote.

It is the most generic sounding album you could hear. Nothing stands out - there is no killer song on here. For album number 2 she needs to be stepping her game right up but she simply hasn't.

What gets me the most is the fact that this girl has a pretty incredible voice. I mean seriously. Where is that on this album? I always saw her as a UK Beyonce (or someone who would grow into that kind of calibre) but this is the kind of thing I expect from Alesha Dixon - not someone who has a voice like Alexandra Burke has.

She has just jumped on the dance music band wagon that is now getting boring and everyone is doing to death. So many artists falling foul of this current trend and making dance records that have no spark to them. The Saturdays have done the same. Great for a single or 2 but not an album packed with it.

This is a poor album - in my opinion. Obviously loads of people like it which is fine. But this is not an 'amazing' album. Waste of a great voice.
