Well I would hope most people would be able to determine that I am obviously talking about in an ideal world, where you know things turn around and the opportunity arises for such a case where it might be worthwhile releasing that amount of singles.

Not him. There's clearly something missing.

Album ad.



Interesting they list the singles are Fire Under My Feet, Another Love Song and I Am, could that be the third UK single?

I wouldn't be against it, but I was hoping we'd get I Got You next.

The album has leaked (well it's out in New Zeland/Australia etc).

It sounds really good in HQ and "Thank You"/"You Knew Me When" are beautiful. Not to mention the deluxe tracks "Thick Skin"/"The Best And The Worst" are great too. Love it!

I wish she had a bit more... personality about her.

Her lack of personality is really one of her biggest obstacles. I feel like if she had the personality of someone like Mariah or Cheryl... it would have increased her star power so much, she would have been in tabloids a lot, people would have been more interested to her as a person and she wouldnt be so forgettable now. In short, she lacked the true X factor.

Just listened to the album from start to finish and I think it's great, really solid. I especially love the ballads You Knew Me When and Thank You.

Edit: Also,

Having listened to the album in full, it's, at best, inoffensive. Even on co-written songs, Leona's personality is nowhere to be seen. I do wish she'd learn to emote too. I love her voice but I'd happily sacrifice some of the technical perfection for some feeling. Half the time it feels like she's singing her shopping list.

You Knew Me When is the only song I'll keep, I think.

I'm listening to it now and I have the same feelings as you do. You know when you listen to Jojo and you can clearly hear the grit and emotion in her voice? That's what Leona's missing! I can't hear the anger or sadness in her voice, despite the acknowledgement that this album is about what she has experienced in the past few years. She has claimed that she was frustrated and stuff, but that frustration does not come out of her recordings. The album is just going through the motions for me..

She had better emotions on "Run" than this whole album.

I think Leona's put a lot of emotion into the songs/album. She may not have "Grit" in her voice, but she does emote really well on the album imo. I mean she's almost crying at the end of "Thick Skin" if you listen close enough.

Well I've just had a little cry to her Hurt EP and that's emotion and power in her voice. If anything here is sung quite like that, I'm investing.

A Thunder remix has been uploaded to Leona's Vevo.



As for the emotion, I hear the emotion in her voice in this album.

I posted a few months ago from DS that this album would be available to listen to on American Airline flight's and seems to have started today,

@leonalewis Heard your album on an AA flight. "The Best and the Worst." Yes.

Every avenue to get her heard is a great one.

I quite like the album. I hope it does well but I just can't see it - especially in the UK. I hope it does well in the US more so really for some reason.
