EXCLUSIVE: Alexandra Burke to debut 'sleeker... sophisticated sound' with a free downloadable EP of six new tracks
|
Although she's had a successful music career since winning The X Factor, her future seemed uncertain when she parted ways with her record company back in June.
But now Alexandra Burke is set to release an EP of brand new material after signing a management deal with US super league company KWL.
Featuring six exclusive tracks, New Rules will be available to download at the beginning of September and features collaborations with the likes of Wretch 32.
New material: Alexandra Burke will release an EP featuring six new tracks ahead of her third studio album next year
The EP, which will be exclusively available to download on MailOnline 48 hours prior to its general release on August 30, promises to showcase Alexandra's 'sleeker, more sophisticated' sound.
The 24-year-old, who spent much of 2012 trying to launch her career across the pond in the US, is releasing the brand new music as a 'thank you' to the fans who have stuck by her since her X Factor win five years ago.
In a bid to build momentum ahead of the release of her third studio album, which is billed for next year, the EP will showcase the star's new sound.

Celebrating: Alexandra was presented with a special cake to mark her 25th birthday at V Festival at the weekend
While Alexandra became known for her catchy pop and R&B songs at the start of her career, she is set to showcase a different set of singing skills later this year as she takes on Lady Sings The Blues in a series of concerts.
Originally scheduled to happen in June, the singer reportedly pushed back the shows due to an 'overwhelming demand' for tickets.
Alexandra was at V Festival over the weekend to catch other people's music, but didn't miss out on the limelight as she celebrated her birthday in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge.

She was presented with a colourful five-tiered cake in front of family and friends as she partied in an unusual kimono-style yellow top.
The star admitted that she had already offered her congratulations to Simon Cowell after it was revealed that he is expecting his first child.
'I wasn't shocked,' she told Heat. 'I think he'll be a stern father. He's going to make a great dad. And I sent my love via Twitter.'
But despite her joy for Simon, romance seems to be the furthest thing from Alexandra's mind as she admitted that she's putting all her energies into her music.
'Music is my main priority right now,' she said. 'Don’t get me wrong – if love wants to come along that’s OK. But I’m not looking for love. I don’t have time to.'
For the fans: Alexandra had admitted that the new EP is for the people who have supported her over the years
