Alesha - Fired Up

"Fired Up" is the debut album by Alesha Dixon, who used to be in the group Mis-Teeq. The album was given a Japan only release in February this year, and its UK release was eventually cancelled. "Fired Up" is a pretty good effort by Alesha and it's ashame that it was never released properly in the UK!

1. "Hypnotik" - This tune is pretty mediocre. There's better on the album!

2. "Lipstick" - Her debut solo single. An up-tempo track which I love. It is just a fun track with great lyrics that is also really catchy!

3. "Fired Up" - The title track which is another catchy track. I love the chorus. It is a pop song which is quite experimental but in a good way.

4. "Knockdown" - The second single. In my opinion this song shouldn't have been a single. This is an up-beat song which is abit too experimental for me. It isn't a good song, but it isn't bad either - sort of in the middle somewhere.

5. "Superficial" - A catchy track that is worth a listen, with its brilliant chorus and catchy hooks.

6. "Ting-a-Ling" - This tune is definitely the best track on the album! It's a pure pop song but it's different to any other pop song. It has a really catchy chorus as well as fantastic hooks! This should have been a single!

7. "Free" - A pretty mediocre track. The lyrics are passable, but this is a filler, ao I usually skip this one.

8. "Everybody Wants to Change the World" - I also like this track. A catchy track that never gets boring!

9. "Let It Go" - This is another stormer of a track, with it's catchy chorus as well as it's urban-pop vibe, it's hard not to like this song!

10. "Lil' Bit of Love" - This great pop tune is about putting love into a relationship. I love this one!

11. "Turn It Up" - This is a catchy track which is another pure fun track. Definately worth a listen.

12. "Everywhere I Go" - I also like this track. It's really catchy and Alesha's brilliant vocals make me like this song even more!

13. "Voodoo" - I really don't like this song. It's a mid-temp track which adds nothing to the album. It's just bland.

14. "Lipstick (Agent X Remix)" - A good remix of the track, however I like the original better.

15. "Knockdown (K-Gee Heat Remix) - I don't really like the original, but I think that this remix is catchier than the original.

Best Track: "Ting-a-Ling"
