August 17, 201212 yr Long wait is over for Leona's Trouble LEONA LEWIS’s new single Trouble has been a long time coming. But the wait should be worth it. The song, co-written with Emeli Sande, debuts on radio next Tuesday and looks bound to be a hit. It sounds a lot like Scot Emeli’s music but also like the Massive Attack songs Unfinished Sympathy and Teardrop. At the end of the track is a decent guest rap from Childish Gambino, which will help to shake off Leona’s safe image. And talking of change, Leona herself looks to have had an interesting makeover. Her third album, Glassheart, was originally due out in November last year but is now set for release on October 14. Trouble will definitely make people interested in the full album. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...l#ixzz23nAc6tO8 That's the thing. It's all sounding a bit TOO good! I really, really hope it's as good as it's made out to be (literally every reviewer seems to be buzzing about it). I have no doubts on Leona's part, it's just the whole moody-ness of the track and whether it'll sound right for her. It's been described as "moody", "epic", "strings", "sharp lyrics" which if you think about it, could describe Bleeding Love to a tee. Popjustice also comments that her vocal is "compelling and dramatic" so I think this will be a perfect track for her. Edited August 17, 201212 yr by Rain
August 17, 201212 yr Single cover: http://www.dawbell.com/images/cachea301305f97f9a304a31399946f8eef00772d9f3a.jpg Press release: Leona Lewis returns with her brand new single - ‘Trouble’ featuring Childish Gambino Seven years on from first stepping into the limelight and some 20 million single and album sales later, global singing sensation Leona Lewis returns with her brand new, much anticipated single Trouble on 7th October. The single is taken from Leona’s forthcoming third album Glassheart, which is released the following week on 14th October. Trouble is an anguished epic journey that reveals ethereal, haunting tones that simultaneously showcase the sheer power and intimacy of Leona’s incredible voice. Trouble was written by a stellar cast of home grown talent; Emeli Sande, Naughty Boy, Craze and Hoax, Fraser T Smith and Leona herself, resulting in a standout track that she is incredibly passionate about. Trouble was produced by Fraser T Smith and Naughty Boy. Of the track Leona said, ‘Trouble tells the story of love going bad and becoming destructive, aspects of which we can all relate to. It’s a deeply emotional and poignant song that I have a real connection to.’ US rapper Childish Gambino brings an extra something special to the track with his featured rap. Leona said, ‘I wanted someone who was creative and poetic and witty and he ticks all those boxes and compliments the record perfectly.’ Trouble is the first track to be released from Leona’s third album Glassheart. A real labour of love, Leona has spent time putting together an album that she is immensely proud of. It was during a recording session with esteemed producer Fraser T Smith (Adele, Florence & The Machine, Plan B, Britney Spears) that Leona really found the soul of Glassheart, so much so that she brought Fraser on board to exec-produce the whole album. The result is an inspired and passionate follow-up to her previous two Number 1 albums. Trouble marks the highly anticipated return of the UK’s Number 1 vocalist and, as only Leona can, delivers a superior world class performance that was well worth the wait. Trouble feat. Childish Gambino is released on the October 7th on Syco Music. http://www.dawbell.com/news/leona_lewis_re...uring_childish_ Edited August 17, 201212 yr by Rain
August 17, 201212 yr Wish all these articles would stop, it's making it such a painful wait :lol: Sounds absolutely amazing, and I doubt it will disappoint!
August 17, 201212 yr I cannot believe after all this waiting it's finally here. Gonna be so let down if it disappoints. I'm sure she isn't gonna tho. Love the cover photo too
August 17, 201212 yr The track will get it's first radio play next Tuesday, August 21st, on Radio 1. http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/174319/9 Looks like it will getting played on Radio 1, Leona will probably confirm it on facebook/twitter over the weekend!
August 17, 201212 yr "Seven years on"?! I thought I was getting old, but it's not even been six years since the start of her series of X Factor. Hopefully that's not the only exaggeration to be taken from all the stories about the single. I'm warming to the idea of it all.
August 17, 201212 yr Video for Trouble is being shot in LA on wednesday! Casting LA music Video Leona Lewis 18 to 30 black, mixed race or white male $500 send photos to antoniomanager2@gmail.com Shoot date 8/22 https://twitter.com/antoniomanager Edited August 17, 201212 yr by BrookeOlivia
August 17, 201212 yr Full size artwork: http://jackcrute.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Leona-Lewis-Trouble-Official-2012-600x600.png I'm intrigued to hear a Leona song featuring rapping, but "Heartbeat" by Childish Gambino was amazing. I'm still not sure if the two styles work together, but if they do, it will hopefully be a big winner for Leona! I can't believe it's been four years since her last #1! :o
August 17, 201212 yr Casting directors are specifically look for a lead male, mid to late 20s. Either Caucasian, black or mixed race. Role will describe two sides of a man in a relationship. It will illustrate the good times, and the bad times. The lead male must be good looking, handsome, and attractive. But not pretty. It should be a unique but interesting look and the lead male must be able to demonstrate realistic honest dramatic scenes, and must be comfortable getting close to the female lead. (The female lead will be played by the artist: Leona Lewis, not a stand-in). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1156...100001387793538
August 17, 201212 yr This is so exciting. Finally some buzz round Leona and the new material on the way! Only a few days till we hear it :o This really does sounds massive. I wish I could apply to be in the video! Don't live in LA though :( :lol: LOVE the cover for Trouble. I really do think this is going to be another, long awaited #1 for leona. :heart: Edited August 18, 201212 yr by Karma
August 18, 201212 yr Leona has just tweeted that it will gets its first play on Radio 1 breakfast show on tuesday with scott mills! Am on my phone so can't put the tweet about if someone else could that be great.
August 19, 201212 yr The image for the artwork is stunning, but I really hate the font they've decided to use for the era. That's the only downside. I'm extraordinarily excited for the song, it sounds superb.
August 19, 201212 yr The image for the artwork is stunning, but I really hate the font they've decided to use for the era. That's the only downside. I'm extraordinarily excited for the song, it sounds superb. Agreed. I don't mind the artwork this era (except the fact she has a star under BOTH eyes on the album cover) but the font is so plain that it pretty much ruins it. It's almost like they didn't bother and the designer used Paint to add some font over the top at the last minute.
August 20, 201212 yr You can pre order Trouble on itunes (in the UK) now! Am on me phone so can't post the link sorry.
August 20, 201212 yr I quite like the font! I am slightly simple when it comes to font tbh. It looks really good in italics, for me personally.
August 20, 201212 yr I really like the font too. It's different and looks really classy. Here's a better quality picture of the official artwork, the one posted above was fan-made. http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/bf/3b/44/bf3b44ba-efc0-e3c7-ed8c-44bc05f5b701/886443150973.450x450-75.jpg And iTunes pre-order link: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/troubl...ino/id552185043 Edited August 20, 201212 yr by Rain
