Fired Up (Alesha album)

Fired Up is the second studio album by British singer Alesha Dixon, released on October 27, 2008, by Asylum Records. The album follows her debut album, ''Alesha'', and showcases a shift in musical direction. While her debut leaned heavily towards R&B, ''Fired Up'' incorporates elements of pop, dance-pop, and soul, reflecting Dixon's evolving artistic vision. The album's title reflects the energy and passion evident in both its music and lyrical content.

The album's lead single, "The Boy Does Nothing", was a commercial success, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart. Other notable singles from the album include "Breathe Slow" and "Sweet Misery". The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Dixon's vocal performance and the album's catchy melodies and upbeat tempo. However, some critiques noted a lack of originality compared to other pop albums released during the same period.

Despite the positive critical reception, ''Fired Up'' did not achieve the same level of commercial success as some of her later releases. While it charted in several European countries, its overall sales fell short of expectations. Nonetheless, ''Fired Up'' remains a significant entry in Dixon's discography, marking a period of transition and experimentation in her musical career. The album contributed to cementing her status as a popular and versatile artist within the British music industry.
