I think Leona's days of singles success are over now unless she works with people like Ryan Tedder again, but there is nothing to stop her being a successful albums artist. Loads of artists get consistent top 5 albums without any hit singles, there's nothing wrong with Leona managing the same. I agree. One of my favourite posts. 100k+ copies of an album is enough for someone to make a career out of. Plenty of people do that. I just hope that at some point she does something a little more creative along the lines of Janelle Monae or Frank Ocean. Just takes more of a risk. |

Thank you Soe for reposting my comment on DS. I can't seem to be able to open an account there, and I'm fine with that. It does get occasionally dramatic. LOL. I also wanted to add that: to preempt people characterizing the songs on the album as repetitive, she should emphasize that it's her first THEMATIC album. Maybe say how she wanted to move away from randomly putting together the best demos she received or her personal songs to a collection with a really unified theme. Maybe if there are classical albums in the same vein she could name drop so 'dem haters' have no more room to detract her. I'm going to try my hardest to make this my last 'worried' post. I AM just gives me too many good vibes. It MUST go well for it.

Leona was flying to the US today - so hoping we'll get the premiere of "Thunder" next week. Should have lots of exciting things coming up this month!

Plus there is potentially another video to look forward to soon if Leona is indeed shooting one for 'I Am'. Leona also has a video of the set on her snapchat (iamleonalewis). I wonder what the stuntwomen are doing? Are they meant to be playing Leona? This post has been edited by SceneofSIXCrimes: 9th July 2015, 12:21 AM |

There's a high chance of "Thunder" being on US iTunes tonight with global release friday and the fact her radio tour starts next week (15th she's got a performance at a radio station). Also, entertainment weekly reporting that "Thunder" is already released:
QUOTE The two already released tracks, “Fire Under My Feet” and “Thunder,” both embody that spirit. Link Hope it's true, so excited!! |

I hope we get it tonight but I 100% think we won't. There has been no prior announcement.

Thanks for the link!
I'm enjoying it on a first listen more than I did FUMF. I know FUMF is popular here, but the more I'm hearing of the other songs the more I'm scratching my head as to why the UK chose it to re-launch her with. This post has been edited by Joe.: 10th July 2015, 10:04 PM |

I'm the same Joe, every song so far sounds stronger than "Fire Under My Feet".
I think "Thunder" is great. The chorus is instant but the song itself gets better each listen. I think that's a great combo - instant & a grower. I think with a good promo campaign behind it it could become a decent sized hit in the US! |

From what I've heard it's better than I Am. |

Heres a link to listen to it without signing up or nothing, Hmmm like i said on digital spy i'm not feeling this, I didn't really like FUMF and i dont like this either its a nice album track in my opinion but lead single for US? no hoping it grows on me but dont think it will, I just hope she brings something out i can really get behind this era because i feel like a bad fan for not liking these 2 singles. |
