Alesha Dixon - Fired Up

Recommended by Bex:

This week I massively re-engaged with Mis-Teeq's back catalogue and, in doing so, acquired a copy of the 2003 Red Room Sessions release. There's no doubt hits like 'Scandalous' and 'One Night Stand' still sound current.

By extension, I also became interested in Alesha's solo work. I own a copy of The Entertainer, but otherwise hadn't delved much further. Ever intrigued by releases that don't make the cut I discovered Fired Up, which was postponed indefinitely and released only in Japan.

This album bears the most similarities to her work with Mis-Teeq. I was surprised to instantly recognise both 'Lipstick' and 'Knockdown', making it all the more clear this album should have seen the light of day.
