Producers Ian Levine and Clive Scott were brought in to collaborate with Alleyne's style.
Both felt that they should aim for a Dionne Warwick-Burt Bacharach approach - Alleyne penned the lyrics to "Walk Away and Never Look Back" with the Levine and Scott team.
On the basis of this collaboration, Sony granted a £150,000 budget to produce an album with a full orchestra (sixty strings, thirty brass).
The album was released in Japan in late September with five bonus tracks, including a remix of "You Caught Me Off Guard".
One of Alleyne's unreleased songs, "Like a Lady" (scheduled for inclusion on the 2003 album) was re-recorded with The X Factor artists Voices With Soul for Northern Soul 2007 and became a hit on YouTube with more than 40,000 views and subsequently released a download single on iTunes.
