I'd love that. Hopefully someone sings a Leona song. Saara should do Happy.
After her "Run" performance, I think she should stay away from songs with such big notes! She couldn't handle "Run" very well and if she were to take the key down a good notch on "Happy" it would lose some of its impact imo.

Perhaps she should do "Better In Time?"

If anything, it'll likely be "Bleeding Love".

I love Kygo's music, uplifting but with quality
A song with Leona would be perfect!

Lovin' Leona's style lately!

Yeah but any opportunity for Happy to get a boost on iTunes.

Soe are you spilling anything today or is it still brewing?

I'd love for Leona to feature on a studio version of Oasis.

According to Kworb, Better In Time will reach 100mil views around June time. Possibly earlier if she releases new material or if One More Sleep gains traction again.

The official video is currently just under 90m views, but if you add the other videos (with lyrics or just with the picture from Spirit) she is over 130m.

Looking forward to the news Soe. No pressure.

Leona looks so stunning not to mention how great her vocals are. So much anticipation for what is to come.

I saw alesso is teasing a new song called 'take my breath away' out oct. 21st

Maybe Leona is the featured vocalist on the track, since they did a song together and maybe that's what this supposed news is going to be?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_VR8nMzzQ0 - it's already around in instrumental form and I don't think it's Leona's song which I believe Soe said was more classical sounding?

I think it's a collab single of some kind. Maybe she's featured on Calvin Harris' next album?

I think the classical part could also be just Leona's vocals? Like using classical vocals on a dance track. I personally don't see Alesso just go a whole different direction with his material.

Although I doubt this track wil feature Leona.

It's amazing how one snippet of potentially great news (not even actual news) can get this thread sparked up again. I think everyone is super excited to see what is to come with Leona's new avenues and collab power. Being on Def Jam has given her access to some very great artists to collab with now (Alesso) and in the future (Jhené Aiko/Kanye West/Frank Ocean/Big Sean).

I'll be excited if Leona surprises us all by releasing an album of power ballads!

Someone suggested she might go down the dance track - if so, count me out.

If Leona has any chance of making a comeback noticeable to the general public she needs to be taking the dance route. A power ballad album would be nice, but we are in 2016 now and at this stage in her career I think it would go unheard, we also have to consider her voice, whilst it is very much in a better place now it isn't as pristine as it used to be and probably won't ever be the same as it was those years ago, but Leona is very versatile and she would very much appeal to the public if her vocals are featured on more modern dance style songs at this current time in her career, she oozes that appeal that goes with it where an example is Adele, she is a sensational ballad singer who people go crazy for no matter how dreary her songs are (I love Adele though) however I don't feel like she can succeed so well in a dance direction, this is where Leona has the upper hand, she can use the stage well and it isn't so taxing on her voice, personally if she does tour again then I would love to see her doing some fierce dance routines to her newer tracks, I for one lover her dance style music and I feel would instantly draw in a larger audience, a ballad album at this time wouldn't really do anything for her if she has prospects of making something of her music career again.

Honestly I want Leona to do loads of dance collabs but when it comes to her own music I want her to go down a Pop/R&B route, with some ballads, mids and uptempos.
