Rumours are coming in thick and fast that Leona Lewis may be about to record a duet with Justin Timberlake.
Hopefully he’ll make more of an impact than he did on Rehab with Rihanna, which (let’s be honest) was more of an appearance in the video than contributing to the song.
Someone on Leona’s promo team sent me a copy of Leona’s new single, Run. Hell, they sent me a copy of the Spirit deluxe edition, which I really must get round to reviewing and which also contains a copy of Run.
And stalwart fans of the music blog will already know that I’m a massive fan of Leona. I’ll try to avoid GRS (gushing review syndrome) as much as possible though.
Leona Lewis, currently number one in the UK album charts with the deluxe edition of her debut album ‘Spirit’, will release her much talked about version of ‘Run’ as a single.
Leona’s record label had shelved plans to release the track but witnessed incredible demand for the song after Leona gave a show-stopping performance of the song on The X Factor last week. ‘Run’ will be available as a digital single from this Sunday (30th November).
Former X Factor winner, Leona Lewis is rumoured to have been chosen to sing at Barrack Obama’s inauguration ceremony next January.
If Leona is able to commit, she will be performing alongside stars like Beyonce and Jay-Z and can expect crowds of up to one million people to show up.
“Various inquiries have been made to Leona’s people about her availability on January 20,” a source told The Sun.
They’re billing this as a sneaky move by Beyonce Knowles to steal a song meant for Leona Lewis.
Ryan Tedder wrote a song called Halo, which was supposedly agreed to be recorded by Leona Lewis. Tedder wrote Leona’s first big hit, Bleeding Love, and you may also remember him from his band, OneRepublic.
The bottom line is, Tedder’s a pretty hot songwriter.
Considering she ‘graduated’ from The X Factor almost 2 years ago, it’s hard to believe that Forgive Me is only Leona’s fourth single.
Interestingly, this is her first up-tempo single to be released from the Spirit album. Written by Akon (and Claude Kelly and Giorgio Tuinfort), it’s a breath of fresh air. After a slew of ballads, a regular pop song will show us if Leona can break out of the diva stereotype.
Leona Lewis is due to release her newest single, titled ‘Forgive Me’, on October the 27th.
In this video we can see Leona actually dancing and not just just sliding up and down a wall, so that’s a defnite improvment! I like the funky upbeat track, and it’s nice to see Leona looking happy in a music video.
So what do you think of Ms Lewis’ latest efforts? Leave your comments below.
This could be the dictionary definition of ‘awesome’, Leona Lewis joining Jimmy Page onstage at the Olympics for a barn-storming rendition of Whole Lotta Love.
It looks like Jimmy’s got tired of the short hair he’s been sporting for the last few years. Is it worth reminding you that we’re among the biggest Led Zeppelin fans on the planet, so just watching Jimmy strut his stuff onstage brings on an attack of the goosebumps!
In what Idolator described as an Aguilera-like performance, Leona Lewis did an awesome performance of the song. OK, it wasn’t quite Robert-Plant-squeezing-lemons quality, but it cements Lewis’s position as a class act. And doesn’t she look hot?
Maybe it’s time to start some rumours about Lewis taking Plant’s place for a reformation of Led Zeppelin? Perhaps we’ll get that world tour after all…
Although the best bit by far was Beckham launching a ball into the audience and knocking over some Chinese audience member!
Miss Leona Lewis should be celebrating in a big way today as Bleeding Love has hit the top of the US pop chart. According to the BBC, this makes her the first British female in over 20 years to do so.
I think a moment’s silence is called for. [Insert silence here]
We’ve watched Leona Lewis since she hit the big time in that TV talent competition. It doesn’t seem fair to even mention the name, because Leona has easily (and quickly) transcended her reality TV beginnings.
So let’s stop talking about that and focus on her new single, Better In Time.
