Artist: Alesha

Alesha Dixon of Mis-Teeq fame's second album just leaked and that sucks for her, because she needs to prove herself and that will hinder the sales. However, I hear its really good. The Alesha Show was supposed to be her comeback album and her first chance at solo success. Her first album did very badly and only made it in Japan. I look forward to hearing it.

(Elements of this post have been sitting as a draft for quite some time, so not all of these links are to incredibly recent posts; that just means that they've stood the test of time, though.) A few songs I was introduced by blogworld that I think are worth your time: Poptastic posted "Watch This Space," a song from (the Paul-promoted British High-School-Musical-as-TV-seri es) Britannia High (watch the scene from the show below).

Alesha Dixon Well you know her... Winner of BBC1's Strictly come Dancing with 4.5 million votes, the fille from the N.E.R.D. video 'She Wants to Move', and the one who told Lily Allen to be quiet (oops) will be is releasing her debut Asylum Records album 'The Alesha Show' on the 17th November. Apparently she's very gorgeous and I'm saying this sans jealousy. But is her music worth listening to? The first single entitled 'The Boy Does Nothing' is written and produced by Brian Higgins (Xenomania - Girls Aloud, Sugababes) and [...]

(Note: ZShare is still, baffingly, not letting me upload things; it's only just dawned on me, though, that I can upload songs to Sharebee and then just take the ZShare link from there. A little bit weird, but at least it means the return of ZShare links.) I have two possibly seemingly contradictory feelings to express: 1.) I am SO OVER songs getting passed around to various artists. Spanish singer Soraya 's new album Sin Miedo (featuring a duet with Kate Ryan) is out and about now, [...]
