Alexandra Burke Feels Pressure Over Release Of Second Album
Friday, 20 April 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke has confessed that she is worrying about what will be her second album, and is 'feeling the pressure' to perform as well as she did with her 2009 debut 'Overcome'.
The star has been working on the follow-up to the album for quite some time and has already released it's lead single 'Elephant', which peaked at #3 in the UK Singles chart. But, even after filming the music video for her second single 'Let it Go', she's still extremely nervous and hopes she can emulate – or even exceed – the success she had with 'Overcome', which has since been certified as 2x platinum.
Writing through her Huffington Post Blog, Burke said: “II had a hundred different ideas buzzing round in my head! I’m not gonna lie, this is my second album now and there is that age old stigma attached to the ‘difficult’ second album. There are gonna be a lot of eyeballs on me, and I would be lying if I didn’t say I am feeling the pressure.”
She went on to talk about the difficulties she faced whilst filming the 'Let it Go' video – which almost saw Burke and her crew taken away by police!
“Let’s just say that it was a bit hairy at times and there may have been a couple of occasions where we may not have had permission to film where we did [the London Underground]… but at least you know when you watch the video that all that adrenalin you see is real!”
