I really love Sia, I’ve written with her before, so I’d really like to work with her again. I think Bruno Mars has such a fantastic voice and I really love Hozier. I’m a big fan of male singers, so I’d like to do some duets, Sam Smith obviously!

OMG Leona, make this happen, please!”

Leona seems so much happier now and it shows in her performance. When I look back at the Glassheart era and tour Leona wasn't in a good place. I think the strain with syco was showing.
Leona still has a loyal fan base after 10 years, and I can seriously still see her selling tours in future years. She responds so well to the love from the audience.
I thought all the tracks from I Am came across so well live. So sorry I have no more concerts booked.”
Glad you enjoyed it again.
I wish I was seeing her again myself, but it was so good that I think I'll just hold on to the amazing memories and enjoy the rest of the tour vicariously. Even though I keep getting twinges and checking for possible seats.
I agree with what you say about the Glassheart tour. Looking back, although Leona performed really well as always, she didn't seem completely happy.

“ How do you create the concept behind your tour?
Well I come up with how I want people to feel, and then when I start from there, I build the show around that. The main thing is that I want people to feel uplifted, and I want it to be very positive and I just feel like, there’s so much craziness going on, I just want it to be something where people come together and feel positive and feel love, and feel good about themselves. And then I’ve got my band, who are amazing, and this time I’m going on tour with two singers who have a gospel background, so that’s going to give a very uplifting atmosphere. I have different ideas that I want to implement into the show and then visually we come up with all those concepts.”
She has certainly succeeded in her aim.
