No problem at all.

And I really hope we get news soon as I am desperate.

I know what you mean. Perhaps Leona has went into hibernation and is burning up paper with a pen I hope she's working over-drive that's why she's so silent lately. Hopefully this era will pay off for her. She's got a date with the top of the charts soon

Well, assuming what we heard from Dean Piper is true, her two weeks in LA working with Fraser should be up soon, and I think they were focusing on finishing Trouble during those two weeks, so we might now get new music soon, but at least we know she's still working

I think Trouble has officially become the most anticipated Leona track ever, perhaps even more than Bleeding Love. It better be amazing.

I wouldnt count on it, these were his tweets,

Quote:
“Don't get too excited for Leona yet gang. She won't be back for a long time yet. Loads more recording to come.”

Quote:
“Starts recording this week in LA with Fraser T Smith....producer who wrote Adele's Set Fire To The Rain. Two weeks of recording!”

Quote:
“There will be lots more recording following that. Right now they're trying to get Trouble perfect. It is a monster of a song. #leonanews”

Quote:
“Leona won't be rushing anything - wants this album to be a major step up. She has the voice...but needs the songs. And that takes time...”

So it looks like it will be a while before we hear anything new, but I do like how he says Trouble is a monster of a song.

I really hope Glass Heart is the second single then

but yes excited about trouble.. i dislike the song Heaven though... but then i disliked happy and that went bad..



loved Bleeding love, run and BIT.. so i really think they should just ask me first for which lead i want as i do know what hits


minus I got you as that is my fav song.. but it didnt do well

I think she'll also be in the studio with will.i.am soon, judging by what Clive said a month or so ago. The album will be finished long before November that's for sure, probably May at the latest - they just want to tie in the release with X Factor/Christmas.

I really hope all the anticipation of 'Trouble' will not be a let down. Though the only thing is, I love 'Heaven' but for Emeli. I hope when they mean it is similar tempo-wise, that it's just tempo and they don't have similar sounds because I don't like the sound of Heaven for Leona.

I'm intrigued about the song with Will.I.Am. I'm not really a fan of him, but I hope they pull something awesome out of the bag. He's a strange choice for her don't you think..?

I Like the sound of this. It is 100% true. Leona does have the voice, but she needs the right songs for her voice, and I hope they take it into account that it's about her voice and not over trying to go down the typical RedOne kind of track to score a hit. I'm excited knowing she's working with Fraser T Smith, Naughtyboy and Ryan Tedder. I know some people would rather she wouldn't write with him as much, but If we can score another Bleeding Love then I'm well happy

I’m a whole lot of trouble, we’re in a whole lot of trouble.
You shout louder than you used to, and you hold on tighter in the *bedroom."”

The lyrics sound so good, I can't imagine Leona singing them for some reason, they sound so angry and Leona is so...nice LOL. I can't wait to hear Trouble, it's gonna be epic.

I believe 'Trouble' will sound very similar to 'Heaven'. It's been described as "trip-hop" and like the Massive Attack song 'Unfinished Sympathy', which is basically what 'Heaven' is. So I'd say it's gonna be pretty similar unless they have completely re-done it. I'd like that kind of thing for Leona as I think her voice would suit it well but that's just my opinion.

I'm not a fan either. I think he's bad, real bad. I don't understand why they would want her to work with him, of all the people in the world. He produces the same old basic Dance stuff that I really don't want Leona to do. But I suppose that's what you have to do to get a hit these days in the industry.....:yawn:

Omg I'm all exited again! And I Don't understand why will.i.am is working on the album either. Personally I think lady gaga could write leona some magic, and I think labrinth should work with leona... He can write some amazing tracks and they are on the same label so I don't know why he isn't on the album. He writes and produces all different styles, he said that he writes hip hop/rap , electronic, pop, jazz, acoustic, ballads, all kinds of different styles.

Agree about GaGa and Labrinth. I think GaGa could work on a great euphoric uptempo number with Leona - think The Edge of Glory and Labrinth's production style is insane, I honestly think Earthquake would have suited Leona somewhat, with a bit of a tweak and lyrics change perhaps. I'm not too sure on Will.I.Am, but he has produced a few great tracks I think:

Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie
American Boy - Estelle
Baby Love - The Pussycat Dolls

Two songs I wish were Leona's
Set Fire To The Rain (Adele)
Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye)

Vocals would be slaaaaayed!!

The fans are so pumped for this album, it's just hard because we're so ready but Leona isn't. But I respect that she doesn't feel like 100% is in the album yet, so until she feels she has achieved perfection she won't make anything official. I believe the time she is taking will be worth it in the end. I think this album will be a step up from Echo and inturn bring all her 'spirit' fans back again

Why would she be finishing Trouble with Fraser T Smith? He didn't produce Trouble, he has nothing to do with it.

Yeah i thought she was going to him just to put finishing touches to the album?


meh i dunno... I love what he did with the 3 track EP.. so i am happy she is with him


I am more nervous about Trouble more then anything because if its not as good as Bleeding Love i can see people being like "its good but i thought it would be better" etc.. lol

Sorry, when I typed my response, I meant "Might NOT get new music soon" not we might get new music now

I think Trouble will be a monster of a single as well though, from the way it's been described and the lyrics we know, it sounds very promising. This could be the single she needs

I don't know, she might not be working on it with him, but Dean did say right now they're perfecting Trouble, so unless she is working on other stuff with Fraser in those two weeks, it seems to me she's finishing it with him.

I just LOVE seeing positivity for Leona on twitter. Of course you get the odd stupid comment but looking online tonight, here are some of my favourites:

@anajessquii "leona lewis's voice <3"


@ms_bw2011 "Watching Leona Lewis perform "I will always love you". This woman can sing!!"


@Ripanzell "Or maybe Run RT @MikatekoS: Footprints in the sand RT"@Zizzy_M: Happy! RT @Bonnie2017: #YourFavSongBy Leona Lewis"


@NiallMcilmurry "Cant get enough of collide by Leona Lewis #Tune #GoddessVocals #Love"


@Katiestahl1027 "I love Leona Lewis"


Its good to see when your bored on a Sunday evening!

If Trouble is as brilliant as they make out (it may well be) wouldn't they have had more sessions with Emeli? That would be the logical thing to do, surely. As far as I can tell Trouble is the only song that they worked on together apart from Mountains which they either rejected (this seems to be the case) or Emeli decided to take back for herself. It's all very baffling really.
