    Damn it! I'm thirsty for some new music :cry:

    The wait is too long :(

    I wish Knowall was still here to give us some news.

    I hate how Leona says I'm working in the studio, you'll be the first ones to hear but she never tells us anything!

    And her team is always saying sign up for the newsletter but they never give us any news.

    Anyway, I really hope she works with Ryan Tedder again! He is a musical genius.

    I'd like to think that the new album will be released sometime around the movie but I'm not so sure cause you know how Leona takes her time recording and although she recorded some material last year while she was working on the Christmas album, she said in the Twitter Q&A that the album was still in the early stages of production. What I'm trying to get at is that we're almost in April and we still haven't heard any news at all.

    As long as I get new music this year, I'll be one happy, happy, happy bunny!

    Sigh.

    BIB: We don't lol, it only happened during GH era :p All the other albums were recorded in less than a year. I think the label let her record as long as she wants as she came from two good selling albums. CWL was also recorded in couple of months and they came up with 3 amazing originals :) Her label won't let her record for years now. She already knows what sound she wants so she won't be experimenting in the studio.

    She also said we'll get it this year and she was hoping for Summer release, why are those statements always ignored? :p

    Knowall was last online on Jan 24th :(

    they will be learning the Leona Lewis number one hit, Run. But getting the group to sing in public at all is a tough challenge, never mind doing it with passion.

    Are they talking about CWL? If this is from last year then she already left Modest in Feb

    I wish Leona would record a song like Sirens by Cher Lloyd. It's Cher's new single and it's SO good. She'll struggle to sing the song live but it sounds really good in radio.

    Anyway I hope we'll get a summer single which will be released in Jun not September (that's not summer for me lol). The song full of joy and happiness. That's what I'm asking for.

    Yeah I said this earlier too, I just love the song and it's really perfect for Leona.
    She actually does sing it live pretty well though ;)

    I'd be really intrigued to hear Leona sing something like Sia's new song 'Chandelier'

    I absolutely LOVE Cher. I know she got a lot of flack on TXF but she is really good at singing, and she's improved so much over the past few years! Her cover of Stay (which is one of my all time favourite songs) totally changed my opinion on her and it's been nice to see her grow from that point... I think she might surprise a few people with her 'mature' (if that's the right word) pop sound that she's going for. :D

    I do like Sirens a lot, but I'm not sure it's the type of song I'd want Lee to be singing. Obviously I still want her to have pop elements, but I'd rather her stay away from predominately pop songs like that. She needs something a bit 'different' again and something that will make her stand out. I hope news starts coming in the next month or so as to what's happening... I hate being in limbo haha :p

    I'm so in love with the new songs by Cher Lloyd and Sia. Sirens is so much more mature than Cher Lloyd's previous work. It's so beautiful and uplifting. It would be great if Leona releases a song with that kind of message, but definitely not that style. It's too pop. After my first listen to Chandelier, I thought it's so weird and creepy but now I'm in love with it. I hope Leona's new music would be more unique too.

    Leona is holding a new contest for Leona fan of the week and blahblah you have to cook something but this pic (https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1962620_10153185454827619_1868069090_n.jpg) reminds me of the cupcakes she posted 2 years ago. She wrote on each cupcake a name of the song, I remember there was 1 song we didn't recongise. Did we find out what it was?

    edit; this pic

    I agree it suits Rihanna but I think maybe it's abit too immature for her? That might just be because we've only seen and heard Miley sing it...but I just feel Rihanna has matured more in terms of sound and direction etc

    I completely agree! I don't think that's something Rihanna has really been looking for, as she definitely has grown sound wise, even if she still does controversial/riske songs. Plus she may be on a bit of a break, since recently she's only been featured on songs instead of releasing a new single. Imagine Leona singing We Can't Stop :o:p

    Rihanna's releasing new album later this year. Finally. I have to say I miss her music already haha. :D

    I feel the opposite :D Sia is incredibly talented... I am sure that Leona could blow everyone away with Chandelier. It's exactly what she needs: Catchy, hits you immediately, it's different from what she has done and she could perform it easily live unlike glassheart.

    I don't agree with that, Stop The Clocks, Lovebirds and UnLove Me were all quite safe and standard Leona. Trouble, Fireflies and Fingerprint aren't that different either.

    That is one of my cripes with Leona, she records amazing, quite dark and different songs like Come Alive, Glassheart and Sugar, yet released the more 'typical Leona' songs as singles.

    Meanwhile, Tedder has been steadily -- and somewhat stealthily -- building up his dual career as an in-demand songwriter/producer ever since he and singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney penned Leona Lewis' 2007 global smash "Bleeding Love," which spent four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and racked up 4.7 million downloads in the U.S.

    From Billboard

    300k till 5M!
