Naked being one of the lowest streamed tracks of Echo is a TRAVESTY!


How does Spotify work for international tracklistings? Naked is on the UK album but not the US, so does it not appear on Spotify US or what? Does anyone know.

Also I still believe to this day Naked could have been a great 3rd/4th single, Happy wouldn't have been the lead.

Oh - i forgot about You Dont Care and Fly Here Now!!!!!!

I'll need to remember and get those figures next time i update!

I too think Naked being so low is a travesty....but Glassheart (song on album) is low too.
I get Sugar being low...to me its a cringey song that does not sound good.

It's crazy to me that songs are still restricted worldwide, I just don't get it,

Also Sugar is incredible, I'll not hear a bad word about it. tongue.gif

I think Sugar is a brilliant pop song. She sounds so good in it as well.

I still don't get why to this day Glassheart has not been made available to stream in North America yet, especially with the Childish Gambino feature. Even Cheryl Cole's music is available over there now!

I can't be the only one here that rates Sugar as one of Leona's best songs? I love her vocals on it and find the production really dramatic. It builds so well. wub.gif


Should have been the lead single, followed by Glassheart then Trouble and finally Fireflies wub.gif

I have just went back and relistened to Sugar and boy that would have made a great single. Starting to feel angry again about the huge missed potential of the whole Glassheart album.

Sugar, Glassheart, Shake You Up, When It Hurts and Un Love Me are some of my all time favourite Lee songs. It's so upsetting how Trouble and Lovebird were the only singles.

Right?!

1. Sugar
2. Glassheart

People always complained she lacked personality. Imagine coming back with THAT two hit combo!! I'd have released Trouble third and Fireflies fourth. In USA, Fireflies might have even made for a massive 1st single.

Singles wise I would've definitely gone with Glassheart and I actually think Un Love Me is a strong BL-style ballad that could've done really well. Other than that I'm undecided, I honestly feel almost every song on Glassheart was single-worthy (except maybe Favourite Scar and Stop the Clocks, and I to You is not very radio-friendly).

I honestly believe they could have pushed 5 singles, which I know is a rare thing back then, if they actually put the effort in. I would have done the following:

1st - Glassheart
2nd - Come Alive
3rd - Trouble
4th - Fireflies
5th - Sugar

Honorable mentions to Shake You Up and Un Love Me which could have also worked as singles under the right circumstances.

Power and I Got You would’ve been great singles for I Am, her live performances of the songs are also solid so it would’ve worked well. Mind you I don’t know what they were thinking with the electro-style effects on the bridge of Power. Take that out and I think it would’ve been a very strong lead single.

I see a lot of love for Power but I have never got it, I skip it mostly. Actually I tend to skip I Am tracks when they come on, occasionally when I am in the right mood the only tracks I wouldn't skip are these,

You Knew Me When
I Am
Ladders
I Got You
Essence Of Me
Another Love Song
Thick Skin

For me its her vocals on Power, she sounds amazing, and the song just feels empowering. I love I Am and Essence of Me, but not a fan of Ladders, ALS or Best and the Worst.

Edit: I’m relistening to Ladders.. and I can’t remember why I wasn’t a fan, it’s great. I feel like the chorus is weaker than the verses and the bridge, but still catchy.

Glassheart would have been a great winter dance single. In an ideal scenario we would have got this instead of the Hurt ‘EP’ that winter. Very rarely listen to Hurt and don’t think it did Leona any favours in the long run (the streams for Hurt are pretty poor).

I love the EP for the vocals and Hurt gave us X Factor and Royal Variety, which I rate amongst her best live vocals, but I think it was another knock to her 'credibility' and allowed people to throw out the usual 'oh look another cover' line.

ohmy.gif I adore Un Love Me, it just sounds like a textbook Leona hit, like you couldn't mistake it for anyone else if that makes sense.

I really hope the next album sounds more like Glassheart than I Am.
