It feels mad not to release IGY. I'm hoping Thunder is all kinds of good. If it's a Lovebird then it will be in a way funny but also awful. It has to be something really exceptional and immediate to get her noticed. It can't just be like EOM.
IT'S GLASSHEART ALL OVER AGAIN! IGY is Come Alive and ALS is Glassheart. Don't do it Leona, DON'T DO IT!!! If anyone can guess, I am joking. Fingers crossed Thunder is exceptional.
BTW: I think that Lovebird would have been pretty good as a drum 'n' bass track. It's just too vanilla as it stands.

Tbh, they never said it's a ballad. It's slower tempo than FUMF, it could be same tempo as EoM. I Am is same tempo too

We haven't heard proper HQ of IGY or ALS not to mention we haven't heard Thunder AT ALL and you're already making judgements and decisions....lol

Well I write and research on racism, sexism and homophobia. So yes, the theme of empowerment is real and meaningful to those who have to fight against structures to survive. One person's whiny is another person's social justice campaign. I think Leona speaks to those who have a strong sense of justice because of what they have had to overcome. I love that about her and many of the fans of hers I have met
Beyoncé and Kelly Clarkson have done the empowerment theme to death and it worked out pretty well for them.

So has Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and many other high profile/highly successful artists. I don't think there's anything wrong with Leona doing it either so long as the material is good/radio friendly and promoted well.
I think they should give fumf a try in the US. There is so much competition when it comes to uptempo songs. I got you or other songs would be risky from my point of view.

Yeah, I totally get that. I also write about racism, sexism and homophobia and I also come from both a racial and sexual minority and I advocate for women's rights so I can see what you're saying. For me ,personally, it's not empowering because I find empowerment in academic research. FUMF for me fell a bit flat. It just felt too general and too specific at the same time (contradictory, but true for me - that's postmodernism).
I feel often recognising adversity can sometimes be a case of patting yourself on the back and I feel it can sometimes catastrophise experiences. I'd prefer to take it in my stride. But it's definitely a pet peeve of mine when people go 'I proved them wrong; I stood in the face of adversity' etc. But it's very probably wrong of me to think that way. I really liked your comment though
. The people you meet on LLAT, it's great .

I don't think empowerment is Leona's thing. It tends to be the opposite. The songs tend to be about how beaten up she is about things, which worked. At the end of the day whether some of us are keen or not, it's her music and if she's being honest then good on her. I might not like the music but I'll still buy it and support Leona.

But "Fire Under My Feet" is just as uptempo as those songs

Think so too. This genre is so over-used. FUMF might me silimar to Adele a bit but that's just a good thing while I Got You/ ALS don't sound original to me... They're great but not unique at all. But still let's wait for HQ.
Leona on after A Moment Like This

How can any one of us be saying what's best for single choices when we've only heard the studio versions of 2 songs?

No she said this week she hasn't used demos, all original
I might be in the minority but I'd love to hear Play On (Boom boom), sounds like such a fun song :')
