This is soooo exciting!!
This new track sounds amazing; I loved it when leona says "yo Sarah" ahahaha
You'd think I'd have learnt by now, but I'm wondering because the clip was posted so early this morning if we might be getting something later on today?
Probably not but you never know

It annoys me how everyone puts Michelle (from Destiny's Child) above Leona (see video below).
I am into videos dealing with the vocal range of singers but clearly these videos take everything out of context.
Comparing single notes doesn't say anything about the overall quality of a voice.

That's how to make a BTS video! Not just by playing Collide over a few clips of Leona in the studio!
BTW, did y'all see the article about the video that Popjustice did lmao

I really like the sound of that last song, "Just when you thought you gonna drop me, I gotta drop the news. "

I LOVE IT as an album title!!!

Sarah mentioned @topshelfjunior on Leona's latest post on Instagram (video of the Studio) and they wrote Sarah on Twitter: "Working ! On the low..."

Did they shoot Leona for the album photoshoot?

I think they shot the video (and all the BHS footage). Sarah has been tweeting them all year

It's definitely the best her voice has sounded in ages! In 2012/2013 I was worried about her voice, but wow. Listening to it in those clips, it sounds as strong as ever!

So do we think that's all done for today then?

I think it would be a perfect time to announce the lead single name!

I think Sam Smith revealed the album title, tracklisting and put pre-order up round about this time, but i know tht most likely wont happen at the moment! Just a thought though!

So excited! She may as well have had a mic in her hand just so she could drop it and walk away in pure awesomeness.

Hope not. I really dont like it. But I suppose as long as the music is good she could call it "The Anthem of a slag" for all I care. Lol

And that "working" could mean that they are working on the lead single video?

In a perfect world they'd tease something everyday this week before making an announcement on Friday for a premiere the following week.

Knowing our luck this will be it for another month Great video though, I love watching these sorts of things. Hopefully we'll get a mini documentary or something at some point.

No it won't, we've had lots of little things happen over the past few days.

Yeah but I'm talking big developments where we're finding out song lyrics, seeing videos behind the scenes of her writing/recording, actual album news. Not stuff like her vevo picture being changed.

Is her website down for anyone else? Maybe they are imbedding the video from this morning.

I wonder if underlying unhappiness with the label affected her voice? It was never seriously bad imo, but it sounds much freer in these clips. Perhaps because she is genuinely expressing herself and not working to order. I think we are about to hear her true voice, if that makes sense.

The website is still up for me. No change.

I think this is the start of build up to release. As people have said before, she can't just drop a song like Rihanna with no hype..

No idea how long it will be before more detailed news emerges though. It's the Brits next week so perhaps she'll be over here for that and other stuff.

It's great to have something solid again.

Wow, just got back in after a lovely day. What a surprise, and Leona sounds so good.
Great to see old and new members posting, all are welcome.
I have played this so many times, we will all be celebrating big time soon.

Yeah, it was never seriously bad! It just at times sounded a bit....strained!

I know exactly what you mean!

It is quite possible Ariella, depression is very good at stopping things from happening. Like a mental block on her voice because of the decisions they were making for her.
