'X Factor' winner struggling to write album

Since winning the ITV talent show last December, the 36-year-old shot to the top of the charts with a cover of 'Against All Odds' but has since dropped off the radar.
"I've written for other artists for so many years and I am struggling now I'm writing for myself," Brookstein told The Mirror. "I feel I have to write this masterpiece, but I'm not getting my head around it."
Runners-up G4, meanwhile, have already released their debut album, which went in at number one.
Frontman Jon Ansell said: "Because our album came out and did well he's definitely got a lot more pressure on his shoulders. It's not easy."
A spokesman for Brookstein insisted that his album was still on course for a May release.
