Alexandra Burke Previews 2 New Songs: Listen!

British singer Alexandra Burke has taken to Facebook to preview two brand new songs. These are: "Shine" and "No More You". Both are ballads. The winner of "X Factor UK" Series 5 is spending this holiday season finishing up her third studio album.

Alexandra parted ways with her record label RCA earlier this year, and to date, the only new music she's put out is her "#NewRules" EP on Soundcloud. With her new full-length studio album pretty much ready, will Alexandra definitely go the independent route, or will she seek, in the last minute, the support of a major label?. Hopefully it's the latter!

Alexandra's a talented lady, and she can definitely sing. But her success (with her first album) pretty much relied in commercial music (combined with good vocals). And by the sound of these two new songs, she's clearly leaving her "commercial" days in the past. "Shine" and "No More You" are indeed stunning ballads, with good lyrics, and although she states in the Facebook video that these two are her favorite songs on her new album, they don't sound as strong (radio) first singles...or at least, not by these snippets. I know she wants to produce "quality" music now, but another "All Night", "Broken Heels", "Bad Boys" or "Start Without You" wouldn't hurt nobody, right?.

Are you liking Alexandra's new music?
