Singer Alexandra Burke and Concrete Loop U.K. Correspondent Lynda Moyo pose for a photo backstage at the switch on of the Manchester Christmas Lights on Thursday night in Manchester, England.
Lynda also interviewed Alexandra for Manchester Confidential and they chatted briefly about Concrete Loop…
Lynda: “I write for Manchester Confidential but this will be going on Concrete Loop too. I send things over for them sometimes. Do you know the site?”
Alexandra: “Oh my God. Concrete Loop-the American site? Of course I know it! When I was on there I nearly cried because it’s an American site and I’m not known out there.”
Lynda: “Yeah but there was lots of great feedback from readers. Don’t focus on the negative. One person actually compared you to Toni Braxton.”
Alexandra: “Wow that’s amazing. She’s amazing. That’s so cool. I was checking Concrete Loop when I was doing the album and stuff. When we got closer to finishing the album that’s when they started featuring me on there. They featured the Bad Boys video on there with Flo. It’s really cool.” [ READ THE FULL INTERVIEW ]
