Alexandra Burke: Heartbreak On Hold – review

Alexandra Burke's excessively Auto-Tuned second album is a repetitive collection of generic club tracks, says Hermione Hoby
  
  


Some of the best music is about nothing more complicated than having a good time. Heartbreak On Hold, however, is a strong argument for a moratorium on songs featuring effects-laden instances of the word "tonight". It seems to feature in almost every track on Alexandra Burke's second album of relentlessly unimaginative house, each excessively Auto-Tuned Euro-club banger indistinguishable from the next – and from so much of the rest of the charts. Maybe just the thing after five Friday-night Smirnoff Ices, but otherwise there's not much incentive to "take it to the dance floor" (tonight).
