For a dance feature, I'd nominate Calvin Harris, Duke Dumont or Disclosure. An Avicii feature would be hilarious but he's become a bit crap these days.
For a non-dance feature, I'd nominate Jason Derulo, Taylor Swift (a duet) or Tinie Tempah. |

Leona appeared at Pitbull's show in vegas last night singing Christina's part on "Feel This Moment". I'd totally be here for a Pitbull collab if it produced a hot song like that or "Timber" or "On The Floor"

I think we have been saying it for years, but lets hope this is the year where Leona actually does do features with some high profile produces/djs as it really could be a great way of building her profile back up. |

This could be the year FINALLY they get Leona over different styles of collaborations. She needs it this year before releasing her 6th Album in 2017 imo.

So excited for whats to come with this album. I really hope we get some collaborations this time round and a big hit single to thrust her back to the top where she belongs.

She's label mates with Afrojack and he's remixed "Collide" before (which got nominated for a Grammy) so would love to see her work with him. She's also label mates with Alesso so could collab there. I just realised just how many big artists are with Def Jam. Hopefully it'll open the doors for collabs with some high profile artists/producers/writers. |

You would think now she is away from Syco and on labels with such relevant, cool, current artists that the possibility in great collabs are endless! |

This will flop.
She needs to release EPs like Alexandra as otherwise she will be dropped. |

Last I checked she's doing musical theatre now (having success there and more power to her). So she's ended up not being a recording artist anymore for the moment. I see no issue with a full album especially if they have a handful of great singles. I'd definitely like to see a few collabs to help build up her profile though. |

Can we not do the "she needs to release EPs to build up her profile!" thing. No successful artist ever has taken a hit in relevance and actually managed to boost their career by "gathering interest with low key EP releases". She just needs a big single (honestly I don't see much point in a collab, I think hwo she does with her music will largely be independent of how she does with features) and a good album campaign. None of this testing the waters bollocks.

I know this was intended as a joke, but I would LOVE a Freemasons song with Leona. If they are good enough for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, they are good enough for Leona. Not sure what I think about a Pitbull collaboration, but if it gets her a hit that's fine. It wouldn't get her any credibility though so I don't know how beneficial it would be to her brand.

The one good thing about 'Collide' was his amazing remix. |

After the under-performance of her last album i believe she has some very hard work ahead of her to achieve success. A collaboration would help if it was to be a big hit and then a swift follow up with a strong single of her own. Sadly, i believe her success will continue to dwindle.

I just cant find the relevance in this comment? I just can't find it in her releasing another album right now? It's not her career taking a hit - her career HAS BEEN the hit post-Spirit. It's been diminishing returns since the first album and singles-wise since the second single. The ONLY way for her to come back is a complete, slow rebrand as otherwise diminishing returns will continue and that's been disastrous enough already. Some collabos and an EP of collabos could help to get her back some brand worth. |

I didn't actually intend it as a joke. That is the actual level her profile is now at, I couldn't see the big guns in dance like Calvin, Garrix, Avicii, Dumont etc. going for her to collab. |

Some collabos and an EP of collabos could help to get her back some brand worth. Considering she was working on an album right after leaving Syco/Sony and not being signed, I think she's definitely got it in her to record/release another album or 20. She's definitely been less successful, but she's always done well despite this. She does plenty of private gigs and gets involved in all sorts of music events and such. Her UK tour sold pretty well too. It hasn't been all diminishing returns. Christmas, With Love and "One More Sleep" did much better than Glassheart and "Trouble". She just needs to right material with a good release stratergy. Anyway, with Def Jam being in charge/guiding her with this album, I have a good feeling. Especially as there'll likely be a US focus/push for it. This post has been edited by Envoirment: Mar 23 2016, 06:41 PM |

I'm sure the label will be more bothered about the success of this album compared to I Am, since I Am was pretty much entirely recorded before she was signed. So it was a very cheap era for the label.
Def Jam should hopefully do a good job with getting her with hit song writers and giving the album a bigger push. |
