The Alesha Show

Oooh wasn’t she the one who won BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing a couple of years ago? Yes.

Wasn’t she the girl who shouted a lot in Mis-teeq? Yes, and it’s called hollering not shouting.

Alesha Dixon’s appearance on Strictly Come Dancing has lifted her confidence levels through the roof. With a poppier feel than Mis-teeq, Miss Dixon has come out all guns blazing with a pop/RnB album. With lively tracks such as the single Let’s Get Excited through to beautiful ballads like Breathe Slow (my favourite, by the way) your ears are treated to a fun and frolicky album.

This is not going to be the best album you have ever heard but it also not going to be the worst. A great mix of songs that do not always flow together. This is very poppy and may suit a younger listener. However, it's a very promising album for this first-time solo star. I hope to hear more from her.
