This guy on twitter (a music reviewer) was saying how Unlove me is easily Leona's best song ever! That song is magically Leonas favourite off the album too, apparently we might hear a 30s preview of it tomorrow. It's aparently better than Bleeding Love :D:D
He also said Glassheart isn't even in the best 3 songs, due to the amazing reaction it got.
He thinks; Unlove Me > Favourite Scar > Fireflies > Glassheart > The rest
Aparently Fireflies features Tinie Tempah, and favourite scar is mid tempo with a good beat but great vocals.
Also he said Shake It Up is like a dancey song, like GaGa but wayyy better.
Fingerprint is an amazing ballad aswell, he said it was like Someone Like You from Adele, but obvs better.
This album is sooo gunna be amazing, It seems like "Stop The Clocks" Is gunna be the worst song on it.
Also Sugar on the deluxe is meant to be like amazing and uptempo & a sexy song. Omfg amaze.
Favorite Scar, When It Hurts, Unlove Me & Fingerprint apparently really show off her amazing voice, which makes her better than 99.99% of other singers.

Also Leona is confirmed to be appearing on both Alan Carr & Jonathon Ross, yayy promotion. Also Childish Gambino is going to be on the XF UK with her performing it :D.
I would of prefurred her doing it solo tbh, It would have sold more
Theres a rumour going around how Glassheart already has 50k pre-orders :shocked:
Could be the biggest selling first week album this year at this rate!

Leona likes to record about 10 albums worth of material to select to best songs to please her fanbase, which she has done. She doesn't do what Jay Z does and release an album as soon as she records 12 songs. She easily could have had 3 albums out, one a year. It's all about quality of the music.

Fireflies is second single, It's incredibly safe & probably will get snubbed by radios, I love it though. Fans wanted Glassheart though.

Exactly, Deana and Conor had had an argument and you were quite clearly taking the side of Conor by slagging off her mate who was sticking up for her. It's not hard to figure out.
Plus, if a guy said that what Deana's sister said you'd be all 'LEGEND :laugh: :p' and 'what a guy :pipe:'.

I guarantee if a guy said what she said or better yet, Conor then you would of called him a prick. Life works both ways. My post wasn't negative about Deana, it was about the friend,so...

You calling her music Dubstep was more trolling than anything I said :laugh:

1) that's because sassy > lad bantaaar
2) it was negative about the person arguing on behalf of Deana, and seen as though Deana was hardly getting involved, it's not hard to see where we're coming from
3) because 'correctly predicting' is not 'appreciating' and you clearly don't like Leona all that much
4) No, it's just highly irritating you being here when you add nothing to the thread but posts like 'Obv people don't care about her as much' which is quite clearly not 'appreciating.'
5) I didn't say that

Oh and look, another gif :rolleyes:
Maybe now she'll find decent management and realise some proper music. Oh I'm sorry is this the place to spew a load of bollocks on how "amazing" she is and ignore thevfactvher last single/album flopped.
Lets just hope her music improves because if it doesn't then she's lost her touch.

No one was discussing the topic of the thread when I came in here to deal with a report Kazanne thats why I posted what I did and deleted a ton of comments.
It's also best if you take questions like this to the private appeals section in future too because it just takes the thread back off topic again.

Possibly the fourth album this year :amazed:
(I doubt it, It'll defo be delated rofl)
Leona Lewis is preparing to release her fourth studio album later this year.
Earlier this week, the former X Factor champion confirmed that she had parted ways with management company Modest!, after signing with the firm following her talent show success.
Following the announcement, Lewis's label Syco told The Mirror that the 27-year-old is planning to record new material in the coming months.
"Leona Lewis is one of the UK's most successful artists, one of a few that have enjoyed huge global success in recent years selling more than 20 million records worldwide," it said.
"She will begin the recording of her fourth album imminently to be released later this year. She remains a key priority artist for Syco and for Sony Music Worldwide."

Quite a long interview with DS talking about the christmas album and her next album http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/party.gif oh and how Glassheart performed lmao
http://i1.cdnds.net/13/47/618x413/leona-press-shot-7.jpg
First of all congratulations on 'One More Sleep'. It sounds like a future Christmas classic.
"Oh, I hope so! That would be awesome. I think people weren't really expecting something like that, maybe they were expecting something a bit slower. It's been really good and I've liked hearing what people think of it."
We remember being slightly confused when you described Christmas, With Love as a Motown Christmas album, but as soon as we heard it we completely got it.
"You got it! Yeah, that was the intention. Every year in my house a play a lot of Motown music, especially at Christmas and especially stuff like the Phil Spector records, so that's where the influence kind of came from."
You're the lead songwriter on the three original tracks, but did you find it easier to write a Christmas song because there's already a strong idea there, or did you find it harder?
"'Mr Right' and 'One More Sleep' were very much together already - the ideas were already formulated - but with 'Your Hallelujah', that was not really coming from a Christmas place at first. We kind of were just sitting down to write and then it kind of came. I think it's the least Christmassy, but it still has that feel in the track."
You've previously said that Simon suggested you do a Christmas album, so did you sign up straight away or did he have to convince you?
"Well, I had been thinking for a while to do one and he kind of read my mind. At the time I'd just finished my third album, I went on tour and I wanted to get into a completely different headspace. So the idea of the Christmas album came up again and I was just, 'Yeah, yeah - let's just do it, go for it'."
One track that stands out on the album is 'Ave Maria' because it's more classical than we've heard you do before. Do you think the public will be shocked to hear you sing like that?
"Probably, yeah. I think a lot of people don't know that I was classically trained. That's the first thing that I ever did and I really thought that's the market that I was going to head towards, because I didn't sing contemporary music or train contemporary until I was in my teens. So that's the foundation of my singing. It was cool to be able to actually perform that because on any of my other records I haven't been able to do that before."
Was it easy to pick up again?
"Well I haven't trained in it for a little while because I was doing my tour. I just wanted to focus on my vocals for that, which is obviously coming from a contemporary place. So I had to have intense training with my opera coach to just get back into it and to make sure it was all good. Also, it's in Latin, so I had to make sure all the pronunciations were correct and stuff."
We'd quite like to see you perform it live at some point.
"I might be. There's a show that wants me to perform it so I think that I will. It's weird, because I don't really think anyone's mixed classical in amongst doing contemporary, so it all depends on how I feel and how my voice is feeling."
The obvious question now is whether you have plans to record a full classical album in the future?
"I'd love to do a classical record at some point. If the opportunity came up I definitely would."
http://i2.cdnds.net/13/47/618x411/leona-press-shot-6.jpg
Talking of future albums, how is work coming along on your next record?
"I was working on it for a while in the summer time. I was going in, getting ideas together and working with some different producers, but now I'm focusing just on this record for the next little while. I'll be back in the studio in January doing an album."
Do you have any idea where you want to go next with your music?
"Well really this year I took the time to become re-inspired, and after my tour I thought that it was gonna be a chilled kind of year, kind of, you know, going in the studio. But then I did a film and recorded a bunch of '80s songs for it, so I was in the '80s headspace for a while.
"Then I went straight into recording all these Christmas classic Motown kind of songs, so it really gave me a chance to just get out of my head and go into something completely different. I feel like for the next record I'm re-inspired to do something a bit different, maybe even go into that kind of retro throwback sound for the next record. I definitely want to work with the Smeezingtons. I'd love to do something with Bruno Mars, so I'm reaching out to a few different people and also some Motown people, maybe doing something with them. So I'm still thinking about it, but maybe I'll try something like that on the next album."
http://i1.cdnds.net/13/47/618x412/leona-press-shot-4.jpg
Bruno Mars really mastered that retro sound with his last album Unorthodox Jukebox.
"Even though it was a huge album, I still feel like it's not as rated as it should be. And he's not rated as highly as he should be because he is phenomenal. I think he could be one of the greats."
We love your last album Glassheart, but it didn't perform as well as people expected. How are you feeling about it one year on?
"After bringing out the album, I think a lot of people were like, 'Are you releasing everywhere?', 'Where are you releasing?', 'What's happening?' But when I recorded Glassheart, I recorded it all in the UK and it was our intention to just release it here - and that's what we did. Then I released it in Europe as well, and after that I got to tour in Europe, which I've never done before so, even though it would have been amazing to have a global release, it allowed me to actually concentrate on Europe where I've never toured before. At the end of the day, as an artist, I want to tour. I want to go and do as many live shows as possible and, in a way, it was a good thing because it allowed me to do that. But yeah, for me, I want to better everything. Everything has to be better, so that's kind of my intention."
http://i2.cdnds.net/13/47/618x412/leona-press-shot-3.jpg
Do you think that because of the huge international success you had at the beginning of your career with Spirit, you'll always have that pressure to perform well?
"Well that's the thing. The first album just blew up everywhere, so then people are always anticipating and it's like, 'What's she gonna do next?' To me, Glassheart did amazingly well. It didn't do as well as my first album, but it still did amazingly, and that's what matters to me. As long as it's getting to the people. It's about being able to do what I love and do my live show and go to Europe and go to places I've never been before, and that kind of is what counts to me. And I'm hoping that I'm going to be an artist that can have a long career. Not just a quick one and then gone, so you have to build on that."
You're going to make your movie debut next year in a new musical called Holiday!. How did you find it going from the recording studio to a film set?
"It was mental! Again, it was something that just came along really, really quickly and this year my intention was to get refocused and re-inspired and it was perfect timing. I have done a lot of theatre work before, but it was quite a few years ago so getting back into that was kind of scary. It gave me a chance to learn a lot from the people on set and for a lot of people it was their first movie as well, so we kind of felt the nerves together. It was so fun and hopefully people like it."
Leona Lewis's new album Christmas, With Love will be released in the UK on December 2 and a day later in the US.

Ugh, so annoyed at the XF single & AC/DC Campaign, she was likely to have a shot at Christmas #1
and she wont get #1 this week as at the start of the week she was #3 for 4 days, so shes likely to chart at #2 or #3 with OMS :(
If there was a day longer of sales, she'd have been #1, as shes been thrashing Avicii & Lily Allen on itunes for the past 2 days D:
