Sam Bailey has revealed the artwork for her debut album.

The 2013 X Factor champ is due to release Power Of Love - her first studio LP - on March 24, after beating Nicholas McDonald to the title in December.

Bailey unveiled the front cover on Twitter, with her team also teasing new song Compass which is now on radio.

Her album is expected to feature a combination of new tracks and cover songs, as well as a collaboration with Michael Bolton.

When asked about the recording process, Sam recently told Digital Spy: "The whole experience was a really chilled affair as we worked on it with people from the show.

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending,
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

As the smoke clears I awaken,
and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet!

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Go on run run run
I'm gonna stand by here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go on run run run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds from here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

"I'm looking forward to hearing the final thing as when we were making it, I was singing over plain backing tracks and they've built the music up after."

She added: "The album itself is a mixture of everything. There are new songs and covers, but I think they'll be covers that people won't have heard in a long time.

"There's a couple of duets on there as well which I'm very excited about."
