Here are the lyrics if you are interested, Quote:
Ohhh ohhh ohhhh
Let me take these clothes off Throw them in the fire Blowing hair in the wind Let spirit guide me No limitations It a brand new dawn onto new horizon This is who I am This is what I want Oh I’m breaking free I’m taking the leap these water are deep I’m feeling, i'm feeling the essence of me these mountain are steep but there's not stopping me i'm feeling, i'm feeling the essence of me the eh eh eh eh the essence of me the eh eh eh eh the essence of me I’ve been everything you Wanted me to be Let you chip away at My self esteem You spoke so loud I Couldn’t hear myself But now your ugly judgments No longer pin me down You can’t pin me down! They can pin me down! I’m standing at the fences I still gotta overcome everyday a little victory take them one by one im waking up stronger putting on my gloves round 1 now its on bring it on bring it on got nothing to fear, but my own fears |

Are all the songs going to be 'I am', 'me, me, me', this is 'my essence' etc, and is anyone bothered?
OK we get the idea, you were treated badly by the nasty record company, that BTW made you a star and got you the most amazing showcase opportunties, but you have battled through and grown blar, blar....blar, yawn. |

Really like it! Such a big improvement of Fire, hope this gets heaps of air play.
Hopefully this is a new era for Leona now she's left Syco. |

Not sure I'm feeling this track, especially how it ends so abruptly. I'm surprised everyone is liking it. |

To be honest that's how I feel as well. I love Leona and I understand she wants to make the point that she's got more freedom away from Syco but this album will be bore me to tears if this is all she sings about.
Not sure I'm feeling this track, especially how it ends so abruptly. I'm surprised everyone is liking it. And we have heard two songs so far, we will hear one or two new songs by tomorrow. She is currently at G-A-Y performing, and she has said she is doing new songs and one classic. |

Me too. And to be honest with this and Fire I'm not surprised she hasn't previously been allowed more input-dreadful tracks. I actually think her voice has really deteriorated. I think it's become really shrill and thin. Listen to her new stuff and then songs like bleeding love, yesterday etc and the power just isn't there.

As strange as it sounds, if Leona wants to restore his career back to its former glory days she needs to release a song that could become a karaoke classic.
The type of song that people remember after hearing it just a couple of songs. Essence Of Me sounds alright but for me personally this is album track filler material. I dare say Fire Under My Feet is more catchy and if that is going to struggle to make todays top 40, then Essence Of Me would struggle to go top 75. Whoever is handling Leona's career right now needs to go back to drawing board, get some catchy radio friendly songs and propel Leona back to the top. On the flip side, maybe this is the type of music Leona wants to release. Clearly it's not the music the majority of fans want to hear. |

Well, that's three minutes of my life i won't get back. Everything she's released since 'Trouble' has bored me.

I really really like it. It's a strong modern type ballad. Not everything can be single worthy, but it's in no way a filler in my opinion.
As for Leona singing about me me me, I think it's refreshing for a change considering her last 3 studio albums (Christmas one not included) were all songs about being heartbroken over love. Another Love Song and I Got You are both kind of empowering love songs, so different to Fire Under My Feet and Essence Of Me which are about overcoming adversity. And nobody knows what Leona has been through behind the scenes, so it's a bit ignorant to say "she got treat a bit badly by a label that made her a star". Nobody knows what went on behind the scenes, but I imagine it must have been very hard and scary to see your career declining with each year, losing more and more control over your own life and music and having no idea how to salvage your career when she was stuck with a label that kind of ignored her and pushed her aside for their bigger names. |

Really like it, it sounds a bit like something that Florence would release but at the same time, still very Leona.
