No I think they will stick with Trouble, just read what has been said about it.
Dean Piper tweeted this at the beginning of February.
Quote:
“Just heard the new Leona track Trouble being played LOUD in an office I was at. It's blooming huge.
Don't get too excited for Leona yet gang. She won't be back for a long time yet. Loads more recording to come.
Starts recording this week in LA with Fraser T Smith....producer who wrote Adele's Set Fire To The Rain. Two weeks of recording!
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
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...
Tempo wise Trouble is probably most like Sande's Heaven. It's actually cool. Really slick. Not a soppy ballad #finalleonanews”

“I just want Leona to release the awesome Trouble written by @emelisande and produced @naughtyboymusic. It's a future classic for her”
From an interview in The Guardian.

“There's the orchestral soundscape of Sugar, the eastern-tinged 80s electro of Fire Flies. Most intriguingly, there's the stunning trip-hop of Trouble ("It's very London,"), as if Kate Bush in 1979 was transported through a pop Tardis to front Massive Attack in 1991. Her spectral vocal imploring "I'm a whole lot of trouble."
"It's definitely true," she smiles. "I am a whole lot of trouble."
We adjourn downstairs to the recording studio where assembled "people" (PR, A&R man, vocal engineer) make jokes, much to Leona's mirth, about tiny LA dogs wearing dinosaur-shaped coats. Suddenly, a voice shimmers throughout the room. Leona, as if beamed through a Star Trek transporter, is now barely visible behind a charcoal vocal booth curtain, singing a song no one has mentioned, a soaring reverie over mournful piano and strings, called Blank Page. "I am a blaaaaaank page," she serenades, a soul-bending power lilt somewhere between Sinéad O'Connor and Barbra Streisand, "waiting for life to start." It might just do for Leona what Someone Like You has done for Adele. Confronted by the force of this year's other Hackney Heroine there's no talk here, any more, of Hollywood hounds in jerkins. Instead: total silence. Other than the sound of a reporter's ruined mascara descending towards the floor..”
And tweeted by Dean Piper months ago about other songs.

“So....alarm bells went when I heard Leona Lewis was heading back into the studio without a new album until next year. But.....
...I've just heard four tracks of new music. Can't give too much away but two tracks are easily her best work. Completely different....
...Different kettle of fish to her other work. Full of anger, emotion and very dark. Thrilled for Leona. Can't wait for you all to hear!
Also huge radio songs. Far cooler than anything she's ever done. Collide is weak in comparison. #leona”
And if you are interested here are some of the lyrics for Trouble, sounds really good.
Quote:
“You drink more than you used to, fell in love how could you?
Trust your heart like only fools do, hold on let it bleed.
You smoked 10 now it’s 20, bet you wish you’d never met me.
To stick around you must be crazy, hold on let it bleed.
I told you never to get used to me, I stay awake while you fall asleep.
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.”
So I am expecting Trouble to be huge.
:yawn:
what`s that all about? i really don't care how long it takes, if the end result is better than what she previously had planned.
