Burke 'desperate' to release debut album

Alexandra Burke has admitted that she is desperate to release her debut album.

The X Factor winner, who has been working on the record in the US, insisted that she wished it could be released sooner than the autumn.

"If I could turn round and say to the label, 'OK, done, let's release it tomorrow', I would," she told The Sun.

"I'm so excited to bring it out - my blood's boiling. It's not going to be what you expect it to be. The label have told me they're very proud at the moment."

The star added that she has been receiving support from Beyoncé during the recording process.

"I've seen her three times during the making of this album. She's an amazing woman," she said.

"She's been giving me vocal advice and advice to make sure I'm keeping on top of my game. I look up to her a lot and I can learn a lot from her."

Earlier this year, the pair's performance of 'Listen' on the X Factor final scooped the award for 'Best Moment' at the DS Reality TV Awards.
