Posted May 24, 201015 yr A snippet of this has leaked (via iLeaks) and I'm liking the sound of it! Pretty standard RedOne production with the same sort of 'noises' that appear in all the instrumentals he produces but it sounds good!
May 25, 201015 yr Am I the only one who doesn't really like it that much? :unsure: I just find it so generic and formulaic and the lyrics are quite cliched too. I hope this is just a demo for somebody else. After listening to the immense Scene of the Crime, this is as pale as an albino in comparison. I hope Leona works with Darkchild, Tricky Stewart and J.R Rotem on her new album.
May 25, 201015 yr No, just no. I really don't like this. I'm glad she's seemingly working on uptempo material, but they need to be hot tracks that has mass appeal. A track like this won't work. She's in danger of jumping on the bandwagon (far too late, I might add) and becoming incredibly unoriginal. Working with RedOne will just enforce that way of thinking. Totally out there, and probably wouldn't bring much success, but I'd love to see her work with The-Dream & Tricky Stewart. She has the voice for R&B and would seriously complement Tricky's beats. It's never going to happen, as they wouldn't want to take much of a risk, but I'd love it.

May 25, 201015 yr But Six generic and formulaic is fast becoming J.R Rotem's middle name! :lol: It's already RedOne's forename AND surname though. :P No, just no. I really don't like this.

The only great records produced by RedOne are the GaGa ones and they are all down to her. About A Girl was pretty generic, Broken Heels was good for a little while but then I realised it's cheesiness. I wouldn't go with The Dream though but yeah a Tricky record would be hot! Bare in mind people that he was the master behind Single Ladies and Umbrella. Edited May 25, 201015 yr by SceneofSIXCrimes
May 25, 201015 yr No thanks. Leona needs hits and The Dream will not produce them judging from Mariah's last album.Well, you think a track like this will be a hit? Please. You may think The-Dream & Tricky's productions are generic, but tracks like "Haunted" epitomise that description. And while "Memoirs" may not have been a commerical success, it's one of her most critically acclaimed records (even though she's never going to be much of a critically acclaimed artist) with higher rankings than "Emancipation" or "E=MC2" on Metacritic. Anyway, I even stated that it probably won't bring much success for Leona which is why it won't happen, but it's just something I'd like to hear. She's got the voice for R&B, just look at "Can't Breathe". I like your way of thinking. I do have to agree with this. The only great records produced by RedOne are the GaGa ones and they are all down to her. About A Girl was pretty generic, Broken Heels was good for a little while but then I realised it's cheesiness. I wouldn't go with The Dream though but yeah a Tricky record would be hot! Bare in mind people that he was the master behind Single Ladies and Umbrella. Yep. Lady GaGa and RedOne have a real connection, sonically, but I'm seriously not a fan of his production in general. Oh, and The-Dream was behind "Single Lades" and "Umbrella". He co-produced the former w/ Tricky Stewart, and wrote the latter. They are both known to work as a duo; The-Dream writes, while Tricky produces (although they are both songwriters & producers). Edited May 25, 201015 yr by AAC

Really. :o In that case, I hope she works with both. :lol: Umbrella's lyrics are pretty awesome and the production is infectious. :wub: The beat of SL is the most iconic thing about the song (the video is a different matter :lol:) as it just hits out at you. :D
May 27, 201015 yr This song leaked ages ago but was bloacked from youtube. Its a leftover from Spirit
May 28, 201015 yr Leona working with RedOne in 2007? :mellow: Yeah I agree with this reaction. :lol: It's either not a left-over from Spirit, not produced by RedOne or is bizzarely true. :wacko:
May 28, 201015 yr It's defo RedOne, it's never leaked before and not a chance in hell is it a Spirit left-over :lol:
July 5, 201015 yr I love Leona but she needs to work on her diction. My only criticism of 'Echo' is that at times you just cannot make out what she's singing and from that clip 'Haunted' will be the same.

My only criticism of 'Echo' is that at times you just cannot make out what she's singing and from that clip 'Haunted' will be the same. She does have bad diction at times but I can understand Haunted. Wishing you could be erased from my mind 'Cause missing you is a nightmare, it's a nightmare And the ghost of you won't let my heart escape I'm always being chased Everywhere I go I see your face 'Cause I'm haunted Got me going out of my head 'Cause I'm haunted
