Alexandra Burke - Bad Boys (feat. Flo Rida) (Official Video)

Quote:

It has been confirmed that Alexandra Burke's first single will be called "Bad Boys".

The single has been distributed amongst certain music reviewers in the past week.

Reviewer's have said the song is uptempo, got a catchy chorus and has a similar feel to Sugababe's new single "Get Sexy" leading to some people assuming it's produced by The Smeezingtons.

Alexandra is currently in LA finished her debut album as well as making the video for the first single and doing the album shoot.

The album is expected to be released in October and will feature productions from Jay-Z, Stargate, RedOne and Timbaland as well as a possible Beyoncé duet.

The single and the video premier next month.

Alexandra confirmed via Twitter her debut single will be called 'Bad Boys' and will feature a collaboration with Flo Rida! It is expected to premiere very soon!

So excited!

Sounds like shes going down the Rihanna route rather than falling off the endless conveyer belt of Whitney clones then

Oooh. Can't wait now!

Judging by the producers I'm guessing her music's going to be very American.

Who have her producers worked with? It will be good if it sounds American I suppose, Brits love it anyway and more importantly it'll sell in the States

EDIT: Stupid post, just seen the producers :blush2: If shes worked with Timbaland she is going to do v well

LOL hopefully. RedOne seems to be doing really well lately too, what with the whole Lady Gaga fad. If her songs are catchy enough she should do well.

YAY, I'm glad she's going down that Rihanna route, we need some real versatile females with actual good voices LOL

Looking forward to this.

I really wanted her to go down the R&B route rather than follow in the footsetps of Rihanna,Britney and Beyonce and release an album full of soulless Hip Pop.
But anyway im sure it'll be catchy so im excited to hear what she(or should i say her label) have come up with.

Can't wait. Ben excited for this single ever since she won (L)(L)(L)

Can't wait to hear it!

whos herd her, Perfect, and Overcome songs... ILOVE THEM.

I'm surprised, I thought they might have gone in a Rihanna esque route but I was thinking it would have been more likely to take a Leona route since Simon Cowell doesn't like risks and just loves the mumsy target audience.

I thought Simon would have wanted her a more Leona type, but he also doesn't want her to be called a rip-off of Leona. I'm very happy she's gone for the more up-tempo hip-hop stuff! :lovedup:

Sounds like she'll be a hit!

Alexandra has confirmed it's called Bad Boys and features Flo Rida! :hello:

It'll be a smash. :thumbs:

I hope so! I'm so excited for her album now!! :hello:

So it looks like its definitely that Good Girls Like Bad Boys song then?
I really liked that demo so I cant wait to hear the final version.Even though I really want it to leak,I hope it doesnt because it would really **** up single release which is 2 months away.

Someone asked her if it's true it premieres September 5th and she said it isn't, a little sooner!

Wow cannot wait for this, I really hope it sells really well :lovedup:

Oh really?I think thats a little early but I cant wait!

I'm actually very eager to hear it. If it's as good as My Man I reckon I'll like it.

Im glad she is going down a more uptempo route, last thing she would want to do is follow Leona's steps.

SINGLE PREMIERES THIS TUESDAY ON RADIO 1!!

http://www.popjustice.com/images/sto...nglesleeve.jpg

In the meantime:

» 140bpm
» Sirens
» 'Womanizer'-meets-'Biology' intro

Literally amazing.

Think of 'Hallelujah', then think of the opposite.

Some important points here, in no particular order:

» The single is called 'Bad Boys' and it features US rap gentleman Flo Rida.

» The writing credits are Larry Summerville Jr, Busbee, Lauren Evans and Alexander James. The song is produced by The Phantom Boyz.

» The song's intro is a brilliant hybrid of the intros to Britney's 'Womanizer' and Girls Aloud's 'Biology' (ie it's quite noisy and exciting sounding) except with Flo Rida shouting over the top and a demented elasticated siren effect bouncing from speaker to speaker. The track's definitely in the same ball park as things like 'Womanizer', but with a slightly more euphoric disco feel.

» 'Bad Boys' is about Alexandra fancying dangerous men. "Some people call them players but I'm far from terrified," she says in the song's opening lines, "somehow I'm drawn to danger and have been all my life." The nature of these boys' actual 'badness' is not specifed. We're not sure if it's Josef Fritzl level badness or just 'has three points on his driving licence after doing 37 in a 30 zone'. Probably the latter, on reflection. Still, imagine the video for the former.

» The chorus has a really strong melodic topline - the lyrics are "the bad boys are always catching my eye, the mad boys are always spinning my mind, even though I know they're no good for me it's the risk I take for the chemistry, and the bad boys are always catching my eye".

» This is NOT A BALLAD. This is THE OPPOSITE OF A BALLAD. (Mind you it would probably lend itself quite well to one of those stripped down piano versions that seem to be all the rage these days.) We estimate this song to be about 140bpm and HIGHLY DANCEABLE. Alex's vocals sound very Whitneyish in parts and this is the sort of song we'd like to imagine Donna Summer coming out with if she was twenty years old in 2009. Sadly she is not twenty years old in 2009. She is far older.

» Flo Rida is in two parts of this song - the intro ("FLO RIDA! ALEXANDRA GIRL I KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE!" yeah alright calm down mate) and the middle eight. The middle eight is Flo explaining to the listener to just what an extent Alexandra Burke is actually fond of 'bad boys' and badness in general. One particularly earth-shattering moment comes with the announcement that "with even the alphabet she only sings the crooked letters". (Amazing.)

» In terms of vocal acrobatics 'Bad Boys' has a singy chorus but it's not a 'look at me I'm a singer' chorus, and the same goes for the rest of the track. It works briliantly - sometimes we can't help but feel (this is probably just us but still) that there's something quite exciting about an incredible singer being forced to follow a very strong and melodic topline instead of going all over the show. It's like pop singer bondage. *Cut to shot of Eoghan Quigg wanking with orange in mouth*

» There's no fade at the end, just an amazing BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BAD BOYS BAD BOYS which will hopefully be accompanied by an eyebrow-burning quantity of pyrotechnics when Alexandra turns up to The X Factor in order to warble the tune on the day of its release.

» 'Bad Boys' is out on October 12. As is the modern way, Alexandra has also recorded an 'album' - a dozen or so songs grouped together - and that will be released on October 26. You can hear 'Bad Boys' tomorrow morning on Chris Moyles' Radio One breakfast show.

» We have listened to this song 41 times since it arrived in the post earlier today. It's basically brilliant.
