Jay-Z has reportedly expressed an interest in helping Alexandra Burke to launch her music career Stateside.

The rapper, who recently tipped boyband JLS for US success, has allegedly claimed that the ‘Bad Boys’ singer has the potential to achieve global stardom.

According to The Sun, Jay-Z has also offered to help ‘Superstar’ singer Jamelia launch an album in America.

Burke reportedly recently signed a £3.5 million five-album deal with Epic in the US.

The 21-year-old has been reworking her debut album Overcome, which is due for a US release in the spring.

Digital Spy interviewed Alexandra earlier today about her brand new single “Broken Heels” as well as about other topics like JLS, and producer Red One. Take a read below to see what Alex had to say before starting the European Tour tomorrow!

Last time out she was flirting with ‘Bad Boys’, but Alexandra Burke’s using her latest single – a Red One-produced pop stomper called ‘Broken Heels’ – to salute the ladies. They can do what the fellas can do, apparently, and they can do it even better in broken heels. (Just watch you don’t give yourself an injury trying, girls!) Anyway, as the X Factor star guns for her third No.1 in a row, we decided it was about time for a little catch-up.

» Is it fair to call ‘Broken Heels’ a “girl power anthem”?
“Yes. When I first met RedOne, he said to me, ‘You seem like a strong woman’. I was like, ‘I try my best to be one, but I know I’m only human’. He suggested that I express that in a song and that’s how ‘Broken Heels’ came about. It’s been exciting to do ‘Bad Boys’, which was obviously about loving bad boys, and then move on to a girl power thing. I’m giving the best of both worlds and definitely not being sexist!”

» It’s made the top ten the week before release, but where are you aiming for now?
“Do you know what, I never have any expectations of where I’d like my song to go. All I know is the label would love it to get to where they want it to be! I’m more into the vibe where I appreciate if people are actually liking the song. I’m seeing a great reaction with ‘Broken Heels’ so far, so I’m really happy with how it’s all going.”

» As you mentioned earlier, ‘Broken Heels’ was produced by Lady GaGa’s producer RedOne. What’s he like to work with?
“He’s an amazing producer, very talented, but he’s a lovely guy too and his family are beautiful people. I don’t know, I just get along with him. Me and him have this… hmm… not an odd connection, but a great connection. He got me from the get go and I got him, so it’s really special to work with him. He doesn’t have to work with me - he chooses who he works with now - so I’m very grateful that we’re still collaborating.”

‘The X Factor’ winner Alexandra Burke is ready to bring her vocals to U.S. audiences but, with a few new songs.

“I’m working on an American version of “Overcome,” Burke tells the Daily Star. “I’m writing a few things for it. Ideally I just want to lay down some ideas, present it to the label and then see what happens.”

Burke, who built a rapport with fellow entertainer Beyonce on ‘The X Factor,’ says she’d love to work with Beyonce when it comes time to make her stateside debut.

While Burke’s “Overcome” is being revamped for a stateside release, she hopes to maintain her sound as evidenced on the hit single “Bad Boys”.

“I don’t think we’re going to change it that much for the American market as the videos will definitely stay the same.”

Burke’s “Overcome,” her debut album after winning ‘The X Factor,’ shot to the top of the UK Albums chart upon release earlier this year. A release date for the U.S. edition of “Overcome” has not been revealed.

Hi Guys!

Wow. I can’t believe it’s this moment where the album is finished and out! I can’t believe I got number 1 with my single and album! I am SO overwhelmed and so grateful to you guys. Thank you so much to everyone who has bought Overcome and Badboys. It means so much to me. I honestly feel so happy and I realise I’m a very lucky girl! I will continue to always work hard for you all and make you all smile and hopefully make you all proud.

Everything has been crazy, it’s been a lot of hard work but at the same time so exciting and fun! As cheesy as it sounds I wake up everyday with a BIG smile on my face because I’m doing everything I’ve dreamed of and more!! I can’t believe I was able to go to the MOBO awards, Pride of Britian awards and the GQ awards. They were all amazing to go to, especially the Pride of Britian awards. That was the most inspiring night of my life. Very life changing and taught me so much.

I’m going away to America again very soon to record the video for the second single! So that should be so much fun once again!! Woo!!
