Editorial Review: Album Description: UK singer and songwriter Leona Lewis will release her debut album, Spirit, in America on April 8, 2008. For the first time, Clive Davis and Simon Cowell teamed up to sign Lewis to J Records/SyCo Music (Cowell's joint venture with Sony BMG), and are both actively involved in the recording process for Spirit. Lewis, a 22-year-old London native and winner of the hit TV show the X Factor, a British talent show, has broken all-time sales records there with Spirit entering the album chart at Number One and becoming Britain's fastest-selling debut ever. Spirit has scanned more than two million copies worldwide since its release in November. In addition, Spirit's lead-off single "Bleeding Love" -- co-written and produced by OneRepublic frontman Ryan "Alias" Tedder -- was the U.K.'s best-selling single of 2007, claiming the Number One spot for seven weeks. Ushering in 2008, Leona received four prestigious Brit Award nominations, the UK equivalent of the Grammy Awards. Leona is currently in the studio recording two brand new tracks for the U.S. release of Spirit - "Forgive Me" by singer/songwriter superstar Akon and "Misses Glass" from the cutting edge producer/writers Madd Scientist and Rock City. Spirit is a mix of fresh pop and R&B, filled with "songs with a contemporary edge," as Lewis puts it, ranging from soulful up-tempo numbers ("I'm You," "The Best You Never Had," and "Whatever It Takes," which Lewis co-wrote) to ballads ("Better in Time," "I Will Be," and "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" -- a song that Roberta Flack made famous). Tracks were written and produced by an array of top-notch hit-makers, including Tedder, singer/songwriters Akon and Ne-Yo, songwriters Josh Alexander and Billy Steinberg, and songwriter/producers Dallas Austin, Stargate, J.R. Rotem, and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald -- all of whom have worked with some of the biggest names in pop. In addition to gracing the covers of UK fashion publications like Harper's Bazaar, US media are touting Leona as the artist to watch in 2008: People Magazine labels her "the UK's hottest star in an "Introducing" piece," Vogue presents her in their "People Are Talking About - The Vogue 25 Cultural Highlights of 2008" and Entertainment Weekly declares her one of "8 To Watch in 2008."

 Rating:  - LEONA CAN SING I LOVE HER VOICE!! ITS STRONG! This album has hit number one on the charts. This album is a fresh mix of pop and R&B, and songs with a contemporary edge. This album is totally her. Each song is about something either what she through or with someone. The lyrics reflect what she is passionate about. This album has hit platinum. Rating:  - Could Be a Lot BetterI had high hopes for this CD. After hearing Duffy's "Rockferry" and "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse, and after LOVING the single "Bleeding Love", I thought this album would be in the same league with those I mentioned. Alas, not so. "Bleeding Love" is truly an exceptional track, and by that I mean the lyrics, the melody, and the arrangement. But the other tracks do not measure up to it. It's not Leona's fault, it's the material. Leona fares better on the ballads. She has a good, strong voice, and she can put across real emotion successfully. But the lighter, more hip-hop sounding tracks, are rather dull to me. They're not awful, just not memorable. They remind me of Mariah's current sound, which I loathe. I believe Leona should think ...

Rating: - Beautiful AlbumThis is one of the better albums for 2008. The mix is right...her voice is much the same as christuna Aguilera which is beautiful for a white girl. For persons who are interested in a good r&b album you need to go get this album. So much good tracks not just bleeding love Rating: - ExcellentThank you for this CD it is really good. It was very quick and in great condition. |
