Last week, Alexandra Burke released the official remix of her new single, ‘Elephant’, and now the radio edit of the tune has been issued. The song is the lead offering from the ‘X Factor (UK)’ winner’s upcoming sophomore album, which will arrive in stores in spring.
Is the song groundbreaking or fresh? Not at all but it should help you work up a sweat at the gym. Listen to Burke’s ‘Elephant’ below:
So Burke basically jumped on the Dance/Pop bandwagon and made mindless hit for the club circuit? Maybe she is aiming to score a major hit with her lead single to generate momentum for her other releases and that is why she made such a predictable record.
Let’s give Burke the benefit of the doubt because her talent deserves at least that. If, however, her entire album comprises tracks similar to ‘Elephant’ then she might have to find a job feeding that animal at the zoo because nobody will buy her LP. If you doubt me then ask Jason Derulo.
Trashy Willow Smith song. If this is the sound of her new album…count me out!
Not impressed, not the slightest. whats her twitter page? I need to address her personally
ALEXANDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO ANNOYED!!!!!!!
I like it! With the plethora of dance pop out there this actually sticks out. Its ‘unique’ for what it is.
This ain’t it Alexandra. This ain’t it.
What is the point of xfactor? they should just have people that can’t sing and auotune the entire fucking show.
Disappointing.
Alexandra, girlfriend…
I mean, it’s not that the song is awful but it was everything that I didn’t want her to do. I hope she has better in her hope chest.
ewwwwwwwwwww. im SOOOOOOOO tired of this dance pop crap. I more tired of artists following trends and jumping ship. How dare you turn your back on your main audience. She needs to phone xtina and ask her about the dangers of jumping ship on fans. Everybody can’t do this and come out with Rihanna’s trendy music success
awful! never liked her anyway, she’s product!
Trent used to be a fair and reasonable reviewer he has now become bitter and dishonest. trent you know Elephant will be a smash hit and is is a huge song with a great production.
Some of the posters being negative are full of shit or it is the same person.This song is going to be an International No 1.
This is just disappointing, the remix is much better. Not original, expected more from her -_-
Stop being a hater Trent. Alexandra has done what she is supposed to do with a comeback single a strong dance number that will get big airplay. It will easily be a mega-hit.
Stop with the negativity. Alexandra is back wIth a mega hit. It is a sure fire banger and will be taking over the airwaves.
This will be a top 5 hit on the UK Singles Chart. Wait and see.
Y’all can stop hating on this song now because we ALL know it is going to be a fucking smash, and then some. This is one of the best mainstream dance songs to EVER be created! You can all go shave your backs now.
If she was taller, she would look like an Ebony Big Bird.
Preach the truth Joshua.I thought Trent was better than that but he seems bitter.The song is going to be enormous and Alex kills it live.
Not sure why Trent has turned on Alexandra he wrote this about her recently about her Whos loving You:
“This performance only increases the excitement for Burke’s long-awaited new single, which she promised to release in September. Her talent is is definitely missed on the charts. Indeed, she may not be pitch-perfect like Lewis but she has an undeniable star quality.”
Elephant will be dominating the charts from March end of.
Ok… First of ALL… Erick Morrillo, the producer behind the song is an amazing house music and dance producer who’s sound is not a fucking carbon copy of what other artists have done. He’s been in the business nearly 20+ years.
Secondly.. I actually love Alexandra Burke and feel while this isn’t her particular genre, she can do it because, it’s all about having fun with music. Yes, respecting an audience is key but, disrespecting ones self creatively is another.
I hate it when I see people bash recording artists for not living up to people’s expectations. Give it a rest. Just because, everyone is doing it.. DOES NOT mean they are all jumping on a bandwagon, some artists genuinely like the sound. I say fuck it and enjoy it. stop judging.
FACKING EPIC TUNE
I wish they didn’t drown her voice in autotune because she has a fantastic voice and I wish the bridge was a little bit longer with a stronger dub beat.
I think this is the first song Alex has ever written so noone should expect her to be a lyrical genius just yet. But the video needs to be abit literal to tell the story and explain the lyrics… , they must extend the bridge and add a dance break with 2004 Britney style choreography. and please let her weave be on point.
