Just heard the cover of Only Me, very moving, this is Leona at her best. As Joani said, it is like being in a Leona sweet shop, heavenly.
Haven't listened to Power and IGY yet, I will wait for the album. Really loving this era.

Such strength of mind.
I've only managed to avoid IGY. I'd did weaken and listen to Power a couple of times. But I'm not listening to any of the songs again until next Friday. I want to make my first run through special.

Wow you are both AMAZINGly strong

Love this. I know someone on here would add Dennis to the gay husbands!

Me too
going to try and stop now though till the album comes in the post.
I would really have preferred to have heard only one or two tracks rather than realising that there are only one or two tracks I haven't heard any part of so far.
I should have been strong enough to hold out until the actual release of the album, but failed to do so, yet again.

This is an amazing interview. Also:
Quote:
“How do you think your gay fans will relate to "I Am"?
I have like a lot of fans who are younger and haven't even come out to their families yet. I do this campaign called "I Am Empowered" to share stories, mantras and affirmations, and I got one guy who wrote me saying he gets bullied a lot in school because he's gay. He says he just wants me to empower him to get through that and get through the torment, and so I know that it definitely is a very, very strong message to the gay community, especially being young and coming out and being open. It's very hard and it's a very difficult time, and you need to be empowered in that. You need to have the strength to stand true in what you are and who you are. And it's a very prevalent message on the album.”

Time to ship 'I Got You' out to the gay clubs, make an empowering, uplifting, inspirational music video and make it a modern day gay anthem!! - move over Firework.

That Only One cover is everything
I love Leona's future albums will have one full of heart-breaking ballads like that, 'cause she really brings the emotions

I hope she will finally understand that this is her thing!
I literally cant wait to listen to YKMW
We cant really blame SYCO for wanting Leona to do more covers
ALL of her covers are stunning ( apart from Diamonds but she was sick back then! ), how does she do it?
Kanye's version is atrocious, she took the song and made something magical
She studies the tracks and interprets them in her own, unique way... She's amazing
I dont know how bigger my love for her can get, It's getting scary

She still gets a cut of all sales from previous albums and singles.”

Are you sure? My understanding was that when ANY artist leaves the label she recorded music for, the royalty rights for that music revert to the label.
Has nothing to do with her fulfilling the terms of the contract. If artists don't fulfill the terms of their contract, they get sued.
