3 of Kelly Clarkson's new songs have leaked :/
They are all amazing! It's such a shame that it may affect the album though. I hope this doesn't happen to Leona again.

I reckon they've got Leonas' tracks safely under lock and key for the time being, they will only leak after tracks have been sent out to critics/music sites or whatever.
Looks like things are starting to happen now. We can't exactly judge the credibility of that site, but chances are that they might have actually heard the lead single, I'm sure it's been chosen by now.

I agree and totaly trust that Leona has too much good taste to allow herself to be used purely for popularity
Quality will Always prevail and stand the test of time
I just look forward to more superb vocals and music From Leona

Poor Kelly! I'm listening now and they are really good. Her leaking is even worse than the Echo era.
They're on the same label in the US but it doesn't seem like any has any of Leona's, lets hope so anyways. I hope everything runs smoothly this time around and we get the music when it's officially been released.
I'm getting excited now.
I've got a feeling the single is definitely out there and we just don't know it yet... Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but I've just got that vibe.

Apparently this song is one that Lemar turned down...I must say I'm intrigued about her new sound...she's been working with Major Lazer people too...

Oh really? Source?
I personally love 'Run the World (Girls)'.
Btw, can someone tell me when the 'Happy' video was shot and when the album photoshoot took place? It would be nice to compare the dates.

Can't say 100%, its the same source I have for Alexandra's stuff, but apparently there is a song entitled 'Me, You & The Music' which has writing credits by Lemar Obika and Toby Gad, I assume that this is the same song Leona has recorded...apparently there is a demo by Lemar, which I can find nowhere...
Hmmm, Run The World and Beat Of My Drum are 2 amazing tracks by them out right now...Just imagine some epic dance/electro beat with Leona's vocals and their production....

They should release a different single in the US and Europe.
US is so slow to wind up the plays on songs, it'll drag the whole campaign down to go at their pace.
If they release a different song over there, by the time its peaked it will be ready for release here.

I am getting a bit worried again now, I really want to love Leona's new album because I have been looking forward to it so much. I loved what she did on the Live Lounge with BIT/MD and Let The Sun Shine and would love a mix of them sounds plus something like California King Bed with the wicked guitar solo it has in it, However now I am worried It will be Club Banging crap.
I read a comment on the youtube video of Let The Sun Shine from a person that stated they don't usually like her but said Let The Sun Shine was awsome so maybe things like that would work really well as it isn't the usual ballad from her it is more Adele like.
I just have to remember that Leona said her influences for this album are Tracy Chapman and Kate Bush and keep faith.

I think you're worrying too much.
It won't be anything like the "club banging crap" you dread. You just need to have faith in Leona's taste and artistry. She says that she's put her heart into all the lyrics and even the up-tempos are still very song based. The third album will rock!

You will just have to lie back and think of England, she needs to release a real uptempo that is for sure. She needs to cover all bases.
But she said herself the album has plenty of ballads still.

Oh God I hate Beat Of My Drum, Nicola's B Side Porcelain Heart was miles better, Run The World is also terrible, it is the only song I hate on Beyonce's album.

Or maybe they should just release the song earlier in the US, not try and simultaneously launch the track like they did with Happy...
If they release it early in the US, allow it to rise on radio and get popular, the track could fair much better on both sides of the Atlantic...
This also gives her time to focus on each market separately rather than running a half hearted campaign in both countries...hopefully they learned from the mistakes they made with Happy...

Yes I think I need to calm down a bit and keep the faith.

I wouldn't mind a song like Only Girl In The World as I quite like that, I just hope I like her new stuff.

Well Sandy Vee produced that song, along with Katy Perry's 'Firework'.
She's working with loads of brilliant producers so I really wouldn't worry.
I think an uptempo is needed though. A dark uptempo would be truly awesome! Something like 'Don't Stop the Music', 'Scene of the Crime', 'Sweet Dreams' or, dare I say, 'Umbrella'.

She's recorded a track with Ariel Rechtshaid who is an affiliate of Major Lazer...

I love(d) Umbrella. I wouldn't mind a song like that. I really want an up beat song with belting vocals in the chorus. And some high notes
