Akon Working With Alexandra Burke

Akon has revealed that he will be working with Alexandra Burke - despite never having seen her perform.
Last year, Akon was brought in to write for Leona Lewis, and admitted that he had never seen the previous X Factor winner sing before either. However, he describes working with the star as "refreshing".
Speaking to the Daily Star, he confirmed the news: "I've had calls to work with Alex and I'm going to do it. I love The X Factor and I love helping to break new artists. To me, it's one of the most enjoyable and important aspects of my job."
Adding: "I haven't seen any of Alex's performances on the show, but then I hadn't seen any of Leona's before I worked with her. I'm taking people's word on how good Alex is, like I did with Leona.
"It was a really refreshing experience working with Leona as she's so quiet and calm."
Two days ago a source revealed Alexandra Burke would be working with US producer Pharrell Williams on her debut album, out later this year.
