Album Introduction
The Alesha Show is the second studio album by Alesha Dixon, originally released in October 2008 on Polydor Records and reissued on vinyl in 2023 by Universal Music. Dixon — formerly of the R&B group Mis-Teeq and winner of Strictly Come Dancing Series 3 in 2007 — delivered one of the most commercially successful British pop albums of the late 2000s, reaching No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart and selling over 500,000 copies. The album spawned four UK Top 10 singles: The Boy Does Nothing (No. 5), Breathe Slow (No. 4), Let's Get Excited and To Love Again. Produced with a blend of contemporary R&B, dance-pop and disco influences — Italians Do It Better nods directly to the Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer era — the album has a warmth and energy that has made it a natural candidate for vinyl reissue. This 2023 pressing presents the full 15-track album across two sides.
Stand-Out Tracks
- The Boy Does Nothing — The album's most immediately recognisable and commercially effective single; a driving, brass-inflected dance-pop track with a lyric of romantic exasperation and a chorus of irresistible energy. UK No. 5.
- Breathe Slow — The album's most emotionally direct and melodically generous ballad; a warm, mid-tempo R&B song that showcases Dixon's voice at its most controlled and expressive, and one of the most immediately replayable moments on the record. UK No. 4.
- Let's Get Excited — A driving, uptempo dance-pop track that captures the album's most energetic and celebratory register; the production is crisp and contemporary and Dixon's vocal is completely assured, making it one of the album's most immediately appealing and physically compelling moments.
- Italians Do It Better — The album's most sonically distinctive track; a disco-influenced pop song that draws directly on the Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer production aesthetic of the late 1970s, giving the album one of its most stylistically adventurous and immediately recognisable moments.
- Cinderella Shoe — One of the album's most melodically charming and lyrically playful tracks; a warm, mid-tempo pop song that demonstrates Dixon's lighter touch and her ability to deliver a lyric of romantic fantasy with complete conviction and good humour.
