November 8, 20222 yr Hlassheart was a SMASH waiting to happen, so, naturally, they did everythinf thdy could not to make it happen.
November 8, 20222 yr Glassheart (song) was such a missed opportunity. Saying that though they badly messed up the Echo era as well.
November 8, 20222 yr I mean, Leona had at least a couple of hit albums in her if managed properly but unfortunately, Simon Cowell couldn't really think outside of what similar successful artists did (in this case: Mariah).
November 8, 20222 yr The thing is, with 'ECHO' I understand the lead single being 'Happy' (a formula very similar to BL which was a huge hit etc..) but the minute they saw BEP's beat that song to number 1, despite BEP's being a climber and out for months prior, they should NOT have had 'I Got You' as single 2. It was a very similar strategy to BL > Better In Time but they should have focused straight onto 'Outta My Head' for single 2 to show a different side that we hadn't seen from her before & that the GP wanted to see and followed that up with 'Can't Breathe' & then ended with 'Naked' (both of which would have been huge US radio hits at least, I think!) The minute 'Happy' under performed (not really "flop" but it definitely didn't do what it should have done) they should have capitalised. Instead they prolonged the 2nd single announcement and don't even get me started on the mess of the video release for IGY... It's a shame coz I absolutely ADORE IGY (legit in my Leona top 10 - maybe top 5), but it was struggling to go high on iTunes and they should have realised a lot sooner than they did that it wasn't going to hit... EDIT: Oh and sorry, but the 'Glassheart' album is REALLY underrated!
November 10, 20222 yr Nice to see a Spirit vinyl coming. Yesterday was the 15 year anniversary for the album release in the UK. :o Can't believe it's been so long. I really miss Leona. I want new music, but most of all I want to be able to see her on tour again. I've been binge watching a number of her performances recently and forgot how amazing she was on the last couple tours she did (I saw her live for the Glassheart and I Am tours). Fingers crossed 2023 will be a good year for new music!
November 10, 20222 yr Yesterday was the 15 year anniversary for the album release in the UK. :o Wasn't it released on November 12th? :???:
November 10, 20222 yr Wasn't it released on November 12th? :???: It was, November 9th was its Irish release date! Looking forward to the vinyl!
November 22, 20222 yr Tour starting in November next year! YYYYAAAASSS! I'll finally be able to get to see her :wub: @1595103051534446592
November 22, 20222 yr What is it again? Ten more? Three more? Fice more? Two more? O o o o o o o o øö ô õ ó ò ONE MORE SLEEP IS COMING!!!! :cheer: :cheer:
November 22, 20222 yr Is she just gonna be dining off this forever now and not release any actual proper new music again?
November 24, 20222 yr i wonder if she'll eventually settle to hoopla and prides. it feels like she could still be quite a big artist but isn't?
November 25, 20222 yr I'm guessing One More Sleep missed the top 100 in the singles chart this week? Does anyone know how it's doing so far on Spotify?
November 28, 20222 yr i wonder if she'll eventually settle to hoopla and prides. it feels like she could still be quite a big artist but isn't? Leona is still bagging loads of (what I am sure are well paid) private gigs so doesn’t seem interested in the festival circuit. At least not yet. Really hoping we get new music next year before the tour.
