Leona Lewis to cover NIN's "Hurt", "Iris" and "Colorblind"
 
Quote:

Leona Lewis is set to cover the Nine Inch Nails' 1994 track 'Hurt' on her forthcoming EP.

Famously covered in 2002 by Johnny Cash, Lewis will feature the song on 'Hurt: The EP', which is set for release on December 9. The video to Johnny Cash's version of the song was named the Best Video of All Time by NME earlier this year. Scroll down to watch it.

Lewis' EP will also contain covers of 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls and 'Colorblind' by Counting Crows.

Originally set for release in November, Lewis' third album 'Glassheart', will now be released on March 26, 2012. Lewis' forthcoming album sees songwriting and production from Emeli Sande, Ryan Tedder, Ammo, Fraser T Smith, Steve Robson, Autumn Rowe and Sandy Vee.

Confirmed tracks on the album include 'Collide' with Avicii, 'Trouble', 'Mountains', 'Glassheart', 'Fire Flies', 'Blank Page' and 'Sugar'
-sigh-
I made this just to moan about Hurt, but then saw the other 2 amazing songs she's covering :bored:

"the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting". Leona? Really?

MTVN 06-12-2011 02:05 AM

Can't see her doing "Hurt" justice at all, thought the "Colourblind" was talking about Darius from Pop Idol's song at first :laugh:

Ramsay 06-12-2011 02:06 AM

Does she enjoy getting abuse hurled at her

Tom4784 06-12-2011 02:06 AM

WHAT?!

Someone needs to send her ass to the glue factory already.

InOne 06-12-2011 02:06 AM

Unoriginal bitch :bored:

Jords 06-12-2011 02:20 AM

Marc 06-12-2011 06:25 AM

Thank god it isn't Darius' Colourblind she is covering, no one could top that original

King Gizzard 06-12-2011 01:03 PM

Pisses me off no end when established artists think they're that good they can just cover songs for the rest of their careers

coughSealcough

D: Never

(Though I do much prefer Leonas Run :D)

Glenn. 06-12-2011 01:07 PM

I think her covers are brilliant. And I agree with MM&I, I hated Stop Crying Your Heart Out before Leona covered it. Its amazing :amazed:

And Run :lovedup:

Tom4784 06-12-2011 02:19 PM

Her covers like her music are soulless, you'd get more emotion from a rock. She has a somewhat decent voice but that's it. It says something about an artist when their biggest hits tend to be covers.

EDIT: I can tell you what they're actually gonna sound like, they'll be piano led affairs that'll last for roughly about four and a half minutes each and around two thirds of the way through the song some god awful gospel choir will kick in as she screeches her way through another round of the main verse which she'll repeat until the song ends.

All her covers are the same thing over and over, she takes unique songs and just makes them same-y.

Black Dagger 06-12-2011 03:12 PM

Three of my favourite songs of all time... she won't do them justice that is a given.

None of her songs sound like that, When i say similar things about Kate Bushs songs, I'm told I'm trolling. So stop trolling..

Glenn. 06-12-2011 03:38 PM

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And peoples tastes in music are completely different.

I love Leona, I think she's brilliant.

MeMyselfAndI 06-12-2011 03:39 PM

I agree Glenn, my opinion is just as good as they'res and She'll sound amazing as usual

InOne 06-12-2011 03:40 PM

There is having an opinion and then there is being wrong.

Mystic Mock 06-12-2011 03:42 PM

I will be interested to see how she does Iris.

MeMyselfAndI 06-12-2011 03:43 PM

Whats wrong with giving out music to fans that expected the album this year. Theese songs aren't all going to the album.

MeMyselfAndI 06-12-2011 03:44 PM

I haven't even heard any of theese songs anyway, so it'll be new music/her song to me anyway

You havent heard Iris from Goo Goo Dolls? although im with you on the other two,what the **** are they?:joker:

MeMyselfAndI 06-12-2011 03:48 PM

Nope, none. Leona could make them more popular again, like she did with Snow Patrol & Oasis

She got Snow Patrols charted again after she covered it, as alot of fans really enjoyed Leonas so brought the originall that week to. And Oasis got top 75 with it as a reentry after she sang SCYHO on TXF

Locke. 06-12-2011 03:52 PM

Who will cover Hurt best

Leona or Johnny Cash?

Roy Mars III 06-12-2011 03:52 PM

I'm sure Leona's cover will be much better than Cash's

Glenn. 06-12-2011 03:52 PM

More Snow Patrol than anything. I hadn't really heard Run before Leona did it for Radio 1's Live Lounge.

MeMyselfAndI 06-12-2011 03:53 PM

Yeah, she made Snow Patrol alot of money, their fans must be really grateful
