Alexandra Burke, the 2008 winner of "The X Factor," is finally out with the brand new, "girl-power"-inspired video for her latest magnificent RedOne-produced groovy single and dance jam "Broken Heels" on UK music video channel "The Box" on Friday. The 21 years old who followed Leona Lewis, fairly recently signed a £3.5 million, five-album US record deal with Epic Records, apparently the music mogul is just as bent on having her cross over in the US."Broken Heels" is picked up as the official second single, (3rd overall), from British R&B singer's debut album "Overcome," which has been in stores since October 19. Burke said the inspiration for the song was girl power: "It's very girl empowering. It's more about girl power, no disrespect to fellas and all that but I thought it was cool to do a song about what men do but we can do better. We did the song from scratch based on my personality. This song means a lot to me. Its actually one of my favorite songs on the album," she said of the track, is to be released in the UK on January 11, 2010.
The music video for "Broken Heels" was shot in the Los Angeles last month, the Frank Gatson choreographed clip unsurprisingly has a distinct US feel and polish to it which is most definitely a good look. It's effortlessly sexy and essentially a complex massive dance routine set in a visual homage to America's favorite pastime. Burke still tries to catch the American culture as she and several female dancers, who are dressed in "gold leotards with huge football-style shoulder pads and heels. All in a while, Burke's awesome strong vocals still flows throughout the song. It's a song that you'll like not just the beat but the vocals as well. Just stunning. The dancing isn't bad either. Burke said in an interview that "[the video is] going to show people that no matter what your shape, color, size, whatever you are, you are still beautiful."
