So after parting ways with Modest, Syco have announced that Leona's new album will be released at the end of the year..

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a45...nd-of-2013.html

I can't wait! In parts, Glassheart was a really great album, although it had some duds! You go, get that smash LeLe!

Yay for new material so soon but I think this is more likely to be a re-release.

"Leona Lewis is one of the UK's most successful artists, one of a few that have enjoyed huge global success in recent years selling more than 20 million records worldwide," it said.

"She will begin the recording of her fourth album imminently to be released later this year. She remains a key priority artist for Syco and for Sony Music Worldwide."

Sounds like it's her fourth album!

To be honest, I completely forgot that Glassheart was ever released.

I think its a good move, glassheart era is dead now and i dont think any singe would turn it around so its better she moves onto album number 4 and hopefully they can come up with a killer lead single and make the correct single choices.

I'm quite angry, but happy. They missed out BIG TIME with "Glassheart", "Come Alive", "Shake You Up" and even "Favourite Scar". The way the Glassheart era was handled was worse than Echo sleep.gif I hope with new management that album 4 will do well. Excited for new material. However, I think Leona is going to be forced to record a very commercial album. So I'm going to expect her to work with Max Martin/Dr Luke/Red One and others like them.

I'm really hoping they at least get "Glassheart" out as a single before the tour though. I just don't want to see the song go to complete waste.... Unless, of course, album 4 will include some of the songs on Glassheart. So it will be more of a re-release, rather than a full new album.

Guys a fourth album will have nothing to do with Glassheart. It'll be a complete separate project, looks like they want to forget Glassheart tbh. I also think it'll be back to classic Leona too, I hope.

Glassheart Strengths:

Trouble
Glassheart
Come Alive
I To You
Shake You Up

Weaknesses (meaning 'Ok' tracks which I do like but not strong enough):

Fireflies
Stop The Clocks
Favourite Scar
Unlove Me
Lovebird
Fingerprint

That's my personal take on it.
I think a new album is needed by end of year, excited too, need some Leona material that I become addicted to again. Hoping darker, deeper and classic Leona. We need that back. Massive, emotional ballads! Cannot wait! We need radio to support!!!!

'Unlove Me' & 'Fingerprints' should be in the other section Karma mad.gif sad.gif

Replace them with 'I To You' and 'Shake You Up' (major, MAJOR bleh at those for me) and remove 'Fireflies', 'Lovebird' & 'Stop the Clocks' from any list, and I'd agree with you. tongue.gif

haha tongue.gif Unlove Me and Fingerprint definitely are my favorite two from the 'Ok' list, I just compare them to Echo and they aren't the same standard, Echo was just so, so good.

Really hope it doesn't get pushed back, and I hope she finally has a smash on it and releases the right singles!

Compared to 'Echo' NOTHING on this album is as good. laugh.gif Not really fair to compare this to that now as I doubt anything would touch the quality of 'Echo'. Not at least for a while anyway, imo.

I NEED a new 'Naked'! sad.gif

Ok that is very true! laugh.gif I want her to re-make the epicness of Echo, and I think she can! Just needs the write material.
Same! Why Naked wasn't released as a single is beyond me wacko.gif Just so confused by the choice of singles over Leona's career in all honesty..

Been a rumour going around Leona is about to sign to Roc Nation management same as Rihanna etc

This in the daily star today seems to be hinting its true

QUOTE
LEONA LEWIS fans can stop worrying because I am told there is zero chance of Syco dropping her.
Rumours are fife that the X Factor's leading lady will be axed by her label after splitting with Modest! Management
But my source told me:"She's a huge priority for the label. She is about to start work on her fourth album and is still a big moneymaker for us. There is zero chance of her getting axed".
I'm told she's close to signing with one of the world's biggest management companies


Someone posted it on digitalspy.

YES. Roc Nation is where she needs to be.

Not sure why they used 'worrying' though I am far from worried. I'd be excited at the thought she left Syco and went to a better label, glad she's getting new management though thats a big step. biggrin.gif Also I dont know anyone who was worried Leona was getting dropped, there was no chance of that happening in all honesty..

I can't believe they have given up on glassheart so easily. The main problem was lack of airplay/promotion for the songs.

Hope her and the label choice the right singles for the 4th album, I want 2 singles before the album drops not just the usual one then album like they always do to Leona.

They always choose the wrong singles. Deal with it, I have.

They released 2 singles before Glassheart. Remember Collide? wink.gif

Would hardly call releasing collide and trouble 2 singles before the album, 1 was out over a year before the other, Collide was well forgotten about by then, And the hurt EP was just a ''treat'' for fans cause of the album delays.

I want them to do it proper this time, Two singles before the album like normal singers do not 14months or however long between them! But she's still with Syco so i guess we will have to ''deal with it'' but just hope this time they get it right.

Anyway lets just hope 4th album does well with the right singles, Cant understand how they got it so right during spirit but the last 2 eras have been terriblely managed.

Sorry about the big essay like hahaha blush.gif
