    Just got back from seeing WoS, weny with my mum and stepdad who have been to both tours with me

    The Walking on sunshine scene at the tomato festival was brilliant i was laughing all the way through.

    Leona's acting was great and she sounded even more amazing with cinema sound
    I completely agree with you Paul :D I loved the tomato festival, I was busting for a wee but held on just to see our girl sing her heart out.

    I'm going to see WOS on Wednesday. It's an afternoon performance so dont expect many people. However, a few of my friends have picked up on positive reviews of the film recently.

    Looking forward to it. :D
    You'll LOVE it!

    I just thought, Stay and HEYA are both registered as part of Universal's publishing company, what are the chances we'll see them revisited? I think it's pretty slim to none, but she might work with Matthew Hales again, get a new gorgeous piano ballad for the album :D

    That's very interesting.

    Leona's angelic voice all came from Matthew Hales writing

    I actually find Battlefield very, very boring and it goes nowhere.

    Cannonball is a great song - I love it too! And On My Way is great.

    Meanwhile, I just recently discovered Empire State of Mind Part 2 by Alicia Keys.

    That song is soooo amazing with just Alicia and the piano and without Jay Z. I didn't like Alicia's music before, but now I'm starting to alleviate some of her songs.

    But hurry up Leona!!!!!!!! Even though I'm discovering new/old music, no one can replace you cause you're my Queen (and no one else's)! :D:p<3

    Same here! I think Cannonball's production is really top-notch and I think it'd be cool to hear Leona sing on something like that :D I listened to a snippet of Battlefield once and it kind of bored me lol

    Louder is also a nice song, but I can't even hear Leona singing something like that lol

    I think it'd be amazing if she redid "Stay" - It's one of her most powerful ballads that should of made the cut...

    I really like this interview,

    http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/485341/Leona-Lewis-interview-on-new-film-and-Simon-Cowell

    Though this made my heart sink a little,
    Leona has already been in the recording studio, although she’s not sure yet what direction the new record will take, so fans of her incredible voice will have towait a while longer.

    As long as they keep her name out their while she records I'll be really pleased. At least we know we are getting at least one song for definite this year, the Giorgio Moroder song.

    I'd love her to work with Matthew Hales again, I love Stay and wouldn't actually mind if she did rework it and include it. It's a timeless song and I want it to be heard, though I think it is pretty certain she won't do anythig with it.

    I hope she doesn't re-use old demos that have leaked. Rather get new material as we've already heard them. <3

    Should we just constantly tweet her asking for 'How Everything You Are' on the next album? It might just work.

    Love this article, especially as it's from a "proper" newspaper like The Express. I love how the interviewer describes Leona as bright and bubbly too. It's a side of her more and more people need to see. They need to get over the shy 21 year old who was a bit quiet and see how she's matured and evolved.

    Jessie J is announcing something music related tomorrow night. Perhaps Leona may be lending her voice to a feature now she's part of the Island family?

    I don't really believe it either, fair enough if it was quoted as Leona saying it, but it might just be an assumption of the writer.

    Maybe we should tweet him asking him if Leona told him that.

    But when you posted that other article you believed it? :p It's like no one believes it when they say something positive but when it's negative everyone believes it lol :p

    I suppose, but they at least say,
    although she’s not sure yet what direction the new record will take,

    So that question has obviously been asked and we are being told Leona's response. Leona hasn't been putting time scales on the album in any of her interviews, so I don't know why she would there. I hope it does come this year though.

    But she clearly said at the premiere of WoS that's she's going back to basics and all will be powerful

    So the writer replied to my tweet asking if the album was released this year for definite and he said,
    That's the plan. She told me she's working on it at the moment

    I'm excited and hope it happens, just wish we knew when this announcement was coming.

    It was Darryl Smith from the Sunday Post article, the one who said the album would be out this year.

    I actually don't know if I want him to be right weirdly, I kind of liked the idea of a Q1 release next year. As long as they handle things right and the material is good then that is all that matters.

    And I hope that wasn't our announcement, I am wanting something a little more concrete. lol
