''The Power of Love'' is the debut studio album by English singer Sam Bailey, the winner of the tenth series of ''The X Factor''. It is largely an album of cover versions with the exception of one original song, "Treasure". The album was released on 21 March 2014 via Syco Music and Sony Music.〔 The album received an overall mixed reception, with some praising Bailey's vocal ability but criticising the lack of original content and questioning her oversinging on certain songs. A new version of the album, subtitled ''The Gift Edition'', was released on 1 December 2014. ==Background== After winning the tenth series of ''The X Factor'' on 15 December 2013, Bailey signed a joint record deal with Syco Music and Sony Music. She also released a cover of Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper" as her winner's single on 16 December.〔 On ''The Xtra Factor'' after the final results show, judge Gary Barlow said that he would like to write songs for Bailey. In an interview with the Official Charts Company, Bailey said that she wanted to release her debut album in spring 2014, which, with a gap of just three months, would make it 'the fastest album in X Factor history' (although Nicholas McDonald, who was the runner-up to Bailey, ended up releasing his debut album a week earlier than Bailey making that the fastest album in ''X Factor'' history). The album was recorded in London in January 2014. On 21 January, Bailey tweeted that her debut album would be called ''The Power of Love''. On 22 January, Bailey appeared at the 19th National Television Awards and sang the album's title track, "The Power of Love". She also performed a duet of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with Michael Bolton.〔 During an appearance on ''The Jonathan Ross Show'' on 24 January, Bailey announced that she had finished recording ''The Power of Love'' earlier that day. The album's artwork was revealed on 18 February. On 4 March, a sampler of the album was released on Bailey's official YouTube channel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Power of Love (Sam Bailey album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
