I'm extremely happy with all I've heard from the album thus far, my favourites being 'Misty Blue' and 'Creative', both of which I loved at first listen.

I don't think DCTL is the best track on the album but can understand why they've chosen to release it as the 1st single.

Roll on the 20th!!!!!

Creative is my favorite track so far, but I have been very impressed by the range and diversity of the music stylistically. It all bodes well for the album.

I love everything about the video and all the clips I've heard so far. It's rare for me to like every song on an album, but I think I will with this one!

He'll be in the studio rehearsing tomorrow!

My favourites are 'Misty Blue', 'Stargazing', 'Ordinary Days' and 'Caledonia' as my preference is for ballads.

There is an excellent choice of songs on this album and, as the X Factor vocal coach says, it is going to surprise a lot of non-Leon fans by how well it is going to do.

He certainly wasn't miming during these live performances of songs from the album recently.

Caledonia Have you ever heard that many wolf whistles during a performance before? I certainly haven't!

The CD single of 'Don't Call This Love' was released today.

Some people, who have downloaded the single on iTunes, may not know that the CD has a bonus track, co-written by Leon. It is called 'Don't Give Up' and is a really big and rousing ballad.

Even though I'm already biased () I believe that some of the doubters will really like it.

The CD single is currently being sold in Woolworths, and also online.

I'm sure that many people will be curious to hear the song. It will probably be on YouTube soon, but naturally, YouTube sound quality is not as good as the audio from a CD

If anyone finds a link to the song, please could you post the link up in this thread. Thanks

If you want to hear Misty Blue sung as it should be sung, then go listen to the original artist Dorothy Moore, or even better, the sweet melted chocolate voice of the class act that is David MacAlmont.

I'd sooner hear Leon sing it Not interested in the other two. Don't want sweet melted chocolate either, as I'm trying to stick to a diet

Leon does an amazing version of Misty blue as well, the wee clip we have heard is brilliant

I have the Dorothy Moore version and it's a real classic, I love it. However, I'm also loving what Leon's done with this from what I've heard thus far. It's good to breathe new life into old songs sometimes and I can't wait to hear it in full.
