Soulful pop diva Alexandra Burke released her debut album Overcome in Europe fresh after big #1 debut single ("Bad Boys") and a record-breaking sales chart-topping single ("Hallelujah"). With her mainstream music career commencing with two #1 European hits, the pressure weighs heavily on whether Burke can carry an entire album and more hits. Overcome packs itself plenty of potential hit singles and a great variety of dance, mid-tempo and ballads where Burke commands almost every song. The album's surprise is that it lacks soul despite the powerfully, rich voice that the young songstress possesses. It can be easily compared to Whitney Houston's 1987 Whitney album, a collection of strong, memorable tunes that purposely aims to please the pop music market. Overall, Overcome is a bold soulful pop album that could use a bit more soul.
