Alexandra Burke Debut Album Pushed Back Until The Autumn

Alexandra Burke will not be releasing her debut album until Autumn, reports a UK newspaper.
There were originally plans to bring out an album as soon as the Spring, but this has now changed in order to let Alexandra "polish her skills".
An insider is quoted in The Sun as saying: "[Her label were] planning a quick release - possibly as early as March in time for Mothers' Day, but they have reconsidered and will now go for the autumn - probably November."
"They want to wait to find the right songs and let her polish her skills, like they did with Leona. She can then launch it on a live X Factor show."
And despite Leon Jackson's disappointing sales of debut album 'Right Now', Alexandra's people are more confident that she has enough talent, that a delay in releasing the album will not affect it.
"Leon Jackson's album failed to shift as many copies as they hoped when they waited ten months after his X Factor win before releasing it," the source continued.
"They didn't want to risk the same thing happening but think Alex's talent and appeal is closer to Leona's levels, so they can afford to wait to get it right."
