My top 5 songs of the album are

1. Daylight Robbery
2. Fire
3. Sitting On Top Of The World
4. Between The Sheets
5. What Money Can't Buy

I was really disappointed by the previews but the album turned out to be soo good!

Brill, isn't it?

This album has come at the right time IMO. Couldn't imagine it being released in Autumn/Winter.

It sounds like The Saturdays, which is a bad thing.

Releases should have been:

Ooh la la
Fire!
(Album release)
What money can't buy
Daylight robbery
Elephant

Ooh la la is a little bit like "Ride it" by Geri mixed with Bad Romance. It just works as a very catchy song worthy of big hit status, especially with a slick video (not sitting in trolleys).

It has a really summery vibe I agree....I will be playing quite a few of these tracks out loud. I'm also convinced that Tonight, Fire and even Oh La La and Heartbreak On Hold can be European hits....

My top 5 are:

1. Heartbreak on hold
2. Between the sheets
3. Beating still
4. Sitting on top of the world
5. Tonight

The whole album is amazing though, the only one I dislike is "Love you that much", just sounds to disco for me.

For someone who said, it's like The Saturdays. Yeah your right, but it's music the Saturdays should be doing if they had much better producers

The problem with songs like that is that they're dire, though. In pop you must go one way or the other: Hook or lyrics. Some of these songs don't have either.

I'd say the songs on the album are either about the catchy chorus (Oh La La, Heartbreak On Hold, Sitting On Top Of The World, Between The Sheets) or the production (Elephant, Daylight Robbery, Tonight, Fire)....in both cases her voice shines through....

Maybe it's not to your tastes, but I personally find the lyrics/production and her voice together on the album to be really strong.

Her voice is on a higher volume setting on some tracks, and on some they're messily produced with the instrumental.

Ooh la la has hook and chorus but the verse is almost lacking.

IMO, Let It Go & Elephant are the weakest songs on the album

Out now! Go get your copies...

Favourite songs so far:

Heartbreak On Hold
Sitting On Top Of The World (reminds me a bit of Robyn's "With Every Heartbeat"
Let It Go
Fire

Heartbreak On Hold needs to be released with a killer video.

So thats what it reminded me of! Its been bugging me for hours now!

Sitting on top of the world doesn't remind me of With every heartbeat, it is slightly remisnicent to a song from Cyndi Lauper's Bring ya to the brink album.

Is there much in the album booklet? Won't be getting the album till Wednesday at the earliest, due to it only dispatching yesterday and the bank holidays today and tomorrow.

I'm glad you like the album.

Fire definitely has a very Saturdays-ish sound to it but still a great song and the immediate stand out track

Im so confused. why was Beating Still put on the Deluxe Edition? its AMAZING! its actuallt SINGLE WORTHY. she should of released that instead of elephant, OR she should release it as the last single.

The standout track is ooh la la. It has the hook, it's very "On the floor" "bad romance" and has all the hook to be a total hit. It's been in my head since first listen.

My album came, yay

I think the potential is there for that song to be a big hit...but the backlash from the radio will really stop it from achieving its full potential unless they somehow reverse the whole situation and jump on the AB bandwagon again if that was to happen I hope it's capital, after all they were responsible for SWY going to number 1.

I'm addicted to Beating Still its amazing....also I love the intro to Daylight Robbery...this album has such a great sound...

The album is 31 on Itunes at the moment

The normal edition is at 92...deluxe version at 31.

What a beautiful second album, Alex made a good shout delaying the album. Heartbreak On Hold is a great introduction - love Alex's powerhouse vocals commanding over a dance track, then straight into Elephant/Let It Go - brilliant stuff. This Love Will Survive is probably the track I like the least, it's a solid song but a bit fillery - Beating Still could have came in here to keep the pace going after Let It Go! Fire takes us full throttle again, I can see where the Saturdays comparisons come from, this has major single potential!

Between the Sheets/Daylight Robbery are both beautiful mid-tempo tracks too, although not immediate single candidates they should be considered if Alex wants to show a different sound/vibe from the album. Between the Sheets reminds me a little bit of Leona Lewis' I Got You, which isn't a bad thing cause I love that song too!

Tonight - another dance gem, would prefer Fire/Beating Still/HoH released over it though!

Love you that Much - Very retro sounding and a good song. Reminds me of Beyonce's Love on Top, which by no means is a bad thing!

Oh La La - Major dance track! Yet another single candidate, could have Bad Romance/On the Floor type success.

Sitting on Top of the World - Great song, can definitely hear Robyn's With Every Heartbeat from the start!

What Money Can't Buy: This song shuts up every hater out there. Alex can sing and this is an example of her finally letting go and using all of her vocal power to the extreme! What a moving and powerful song, an instant favourite!

Devil In Me: A playful, harmless track. Not sure if I'm a fan or not, might take more plays! The whoa oh oh at the start of the chorus was annoying at first but it could be a grower!

Beating Still: Easily the best track on the entire album, should have been on the main version - it has single potential, I hope Alex's team realise this what with it being the most popular/downloaded track from the album so far on iTunes.

The acoustics: All equally beautiful, nothing more I love than hearing an artists raw voice and when you have a voice like Alexandra's then even better! She should consider an acoustics EP or something, would love to own more acoustic studio versions of her songs and the covers too - especially Jealousy and Talk that Talk!

Overall a brilliant album that I can tell Alexandra's worked really hard on. Although not part of the album itself, Alex's team shouldn't bother with anymore singles unless they can persuade the radio stations to stop snubbing her/get back on board, because without that support, Alex's future releases aren't gonna go anywhere. Heartbreak on Hold is an instant summer album and great pop effort. 4/5!
