April 25, 201510 yr Anthony Mandler (Starships, Call My Name, Diamonds, I Knew You Were Trouble, Come & Get It plus much more) directed the music video! :cheer: She's also been booked to appear on John Bishop's new variety show in May on BBC One.
April 25, 201510 yr New 'Fire' snippet. Just give it already Leona!!! https://instagram.com/p/15-2TUu2_R/
April 25, 201510 yr Author Love it, I need this so bad lol. Hope we get an announcement tomorrow or something.
April 26, 201510 yr Author Leona just pre-recorded a live performance of the song for Sunday night at the Palladium and another snippet: https://instagram.com/p/188a9iE2Le/ Leona is working that stage and sounds great! Cannot wait for this.
April 26, 201510 yr Does Sunday Night get good ratings? Could be good promo for her no? Palladium / John Bishop / BGT (if true) is absolutely incredible promo. Mix that with a decent song and decent airplay, and I think we'll be seeing Leona at the top of her commercial game again. Edited April 26, 201510 yr by Joe.
April 27, 201510 yr A low quality full performance of Fire here - https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.b...p;v=NpNZUbXkYpY
April 27, 201510 yr Author I sounds so strong on the low quality recording. Studio HQ is going to slay us all. :cry:
April 27, 201510 yr It sounds amazing and that isn't even HQ. Please let it be premiering within the week it's been a LONG time since I've been so eager for a new release from anyone. It best smash!
April 28, 201510 yr Leona is in LA, she will return on the 8th..so unless she premiere FUMF in the US..I think we are gonna wait :unsure:
April 28, 201510 yr I wouldn't be surprised if the performance is shown on the Sunday Night Palladium on the 10th of May with the official premier being on the Monday the 11th of May. Just guessing though
April 29, 201510 yr I know BGT is huge promo, but with all the stuff she already has booked, I kinda feel like she should prove her worth without BGT/X Factor performances - people will always say she is wheeled out every time there is something new to promote on those shows. I think to get a top five hit (hopefully #1) without BGT would silence anybody. That being said, her performances on X Factor have been epic - -specifically Run, Bleeding Love and especially One More Sleep!
April 29, 201510 yr UGH. Not this argument again. Why would & should anybody cock their nose up at a chance to perform on one of the biggest shows of the year? It's one of the only major platforms to promote on right now so she'd be foolish to turn down any performance. I get your point to some extent and I see what you're getting at, but I don't think ANYBODY should be looked down on if they can get a slot on any promoting platform!
April 29, 201510 yr They shouldn't be looking down on her for doing X Factor promo, but somehow over the years Leona did get a lot of stick for that. "Oh she's only wheeled out once a year to push another ballad, she relies so heavily on the X Factor & Simon" and such comments. It seemed to be a problem for people and they liked to drag her down. It's similar with Cheryl. I'd like to think that because Leona's been away for a while (at least it feels like it!), that no one will be holding it against her to have a major slot for what is essentially a major comeback (if she does have Britain's Got Talent confirmed). BGT should hopefully be a different vibe to her X Factor appearances. The fact that this is her first pre-album release to not be focused on Q4 is quite refreshing in itself, so it's not like she's doing a rinse and repeat of previous eras this time around. I really hope that there's more goodwill shown to Leona this year. The single sounds fantastic by the way! It sounds like it should be a huge commercial hit, achieving success similar to Rolling In The Deep/Ghost/Counting Stars. Something that really grabs the public and becomes a long-lasting classic hit. Fingers crossed! I do have a good feeling about this era though. Leona seems very driven and confident lately and it feels like she's revitalised with this song... that alone makes me feel very positive about this era.
