No filler tracks, all equally good. Can't wait to hear in full.

It sounds like Ryan Tedder has produced every song which makes it sound quite 'samey' unfortunately. No real stand out tracks either

Stone Hearts (Or should I say S.H & Hand Grenades now) is a 'hidden' track on the actual CD. Some guy confirmed it on twitter who has the CD

Well, that's your opinion but he's only produced 2 songs on there. The rest are produced by other people.
Leona is also listed as the Primary Songwriter for half of the album, and has extra credits (Where she's not PS) on another 2 songs.

AMAZING album. And Leona has 8 writing credits - 6 of which she's apparently the primary songwriter. So THERE. She's not just an amazing singer but from the clips an amazing songwriter too. The FULL PACKAGE.

That's fine. I wasn't having a go i was just stating that most of the songs sound similar. No harm done.

So you're saying that none of these songs sound even remotely similar to Bleeding Love, Already Gone, Halo, Battlefield, The Silence etc?

I wouldn't say any of them sound similar to any of these songs.

And FYI - The Silence is a Red One production, not Tedder.

Maybe Lost and Found, but that's only because of the repetitive chorus. Which a lot of songs seem to be using now anyway lol.
Happy I think only sounds similar cause of the drumbeats. I think that's why I like Tedders productions, I love distorted drum beats haha. It reminds me of Evanescence a little

(Slightly O/T but I'd love LeLe to cover one of their songs on the live lounge...evanescence I mean)

Love the previews. This is looking like a great album with many decent songs, with very little filler. I also love the fact that she helped write most of the songs as well, unlike some artists who write absolutely nothing.

I actually can't wait! Does Brave sound a little african in the verses to anyone else? It reminds me of The Lion King lol. Sounds like she's managed to bring out a better album this time round, which I was hoping for, coz Spirit was brilliant, but not very versatile.
And props to her for getting to write more!

Yes, Leona seems to have some outstanding tracks on her up coming CD. I think it's about time I started exploring modern artists, rather, than just sticking with nineties stuff. Can't live in the past forever.

I'm glad that she didn't kill Stop Crying Your Heart Out, gave it her own take. I don't think Noel would have given the rights to her otherwise.

Original artists have no say on who covers their songs.

Anybody can cover anything they like.
