muziek Week's Stephen Jones talks to the X Factor ster as she prepares for release of debut album.

AFTER u left X Factor last jaar how did things unfold in terms of knowing u wanted to get an album out and signing a deal with Syco muziek to make this album?

It was a great opportunity for me to get a deal with Syco. I always wanted to get my muziek out there and I have a label and team that believe in me. I get to have say in the muziek direction too which I think was really important for me.

There were rumours of u signing with all kinds of other labels at the time, did u have other options...
