So true, especially because the the audience of the voice is so focused on who's got that winning vocal note and technique so all Leona has o do is do what she does best and remind people that only leona can do leona.

Could she still be performing at the BRITS or is line up confirmed yet? I mean, Island has cash so they could have gotten her a spot there no?

Btw guys, I don't know if we should post on FB/Twitter everything that we have known today.. They are being so secretive with everything, and maybe they can get angry when they know all the info that has been leaked.

It would be nice to see a few performance promo slots in the lead up to the release, rather than just one the night before it's released iTunes.

I remember Cheryl Cole releasing Call My Name around May/June time, but she spent like 2 months before on a radio tour and performing on The Voice and Graham Norton weeks before it was released, so that by the time it hit iTunes it went straight to #1. I remember being frustrated at the time thinking why couldn't Syco have this kind of strategy with Leona, instead of no promo and one X Factor performance the day before/day it was released on iTunes. Thankfully Syco is now a thing of the past...

I'm happy with FUMF as the lead. It's gained extremely positive reviews from critics and the general public who have heard it. I'm already imagining the video

Just need to see what happens with radio now. Radio support is the big key in a successful song...

And we've been VERY patient

Oh wow! So much news overnight! Just a few of my thoughts on what's been said:

- Fire Under My Feet is probably a better title for the song I guess since it is more original.

- Album release in July is so exciting! Ed Sheeran released his album in July and look how well he did.

- I'm so glad there are two singles before the album. I can't wait another few months for a single. It looks as though, with the single already chosen and a music video being shot, that a première may actually be coming either next week or the week after.

- I hope she has a lot of yodels and screaming banshee notes on this album.

I agree. I definitely wouldn't post anything like "I am is the title for the album". Let's leave this privilege to Leona.

Yes but I don't know... I guess they have good reasons to make us wait.

Neither will I post anything until then.

Oh...I've kinda tweeted that she's shooting the video :/ They won't stop it though, because of a fan account will they? I'm scared now lmao

The most epic performance ever @Star Academy 2008 France. Leona joined a contestant and they both sang Bleeding Love together. It still annoys me until this day that the girl screamed over Leona, while Leona delivered her strongest belts on Bleeding Love I have ever heard.
But what always makes me laugh out loud is the reaction they got by one of the judges. After the girls had finished singing, the judge took off her glasses in the most emotional way possible because she was obviously touched by the performance. It's a small detail, but so amusing. If you haven't seen it yet, I can send u the link .

I only tweeted about 2 singles before album and that they're shooting 2 versions, not album title

It's not that we're leaking info that could damage everything

Yeah true. I'll won't put anything else now then haha

I was thinking the same thing.. I don't think the final line up has been confirmed yet. Considering she's a Brit nominee, Island have so much $$ and connections ; I wouldn't rule it out yet.I can Imagine her on stage playing a piano that's literally on fire (well fake fire), and slaying errbody with her vocals
Tbf she does not need the gimmicks though aha.

I wonder if the head of Island, Darcus, is going to LA specifically because of Leona's project?If so, it's such a drastic turnaround from the syco years. Judging by the quotes, he has so much confidence in Leona and also wants to prove a point to those who doubted her.

true but it would be amazing to see a different side of Leona. I can imagine FUMF performance with backing dancers slamming drums with Leona in the middle at front singing

Yes I think that's alright it's not like you revealed crucial info.

I knew it was called 'I Am'. Got that from the video, when she says the whole thing and then says 'I Am' again... it seemed like it was leading to something.

edit: wait, misread it

Yeah, my friend said the way he spoke about Leona was like he really wanted the world to sit up and take notice of her again!

Great!!!!!!!!!

Leona deserves it so much after so many mishandled eras.

Oh my God this is everything!!

So excited by all the news that's come out!
Only thing is I'm not crazy about the album title...but I guess there's time for it to change/it to grow on me.

Also I would love if Leona could get one of the last May slots on SNL. Though her album won't be out by then, she could perform the lead single and an album track (that will most likely be single 2). Sam Smith did it last year and it worked great.

Wow everything comes together after the long wait! It feels so special.

Btw I played a bit of Glassheart on my piano. Hope you guys like it

Thanks Riez for all the info and to you Soe. I am super excited now.


Couple of questions Soe, did they confirm that they were shooting those videos this week and did they say when the album would be out roughly?

OMG! Who's that guy Wayne Wilkins he's just favorited one of my tweets
OMG! Leona how could u be sooooo cruel? Just a song please!
