February 16, 20178 yr She was supposed to be doing London Fashion Week but no longer is, so hopefully she pulled out of that because she is going to be working with some great people. Really hoping we get something music wise very soon.
February 16, 20178 yr I'm still worried about her weight. Sorry, it's just I've seen the way it can some times when people get on diets and become too sensitive about their weight (Marion Bartoli, for example). I really hope she feasts while in LA (a little fat and DEFINITELY some carbs) and then sticks to exercise (cycling or swimming) to remain toned. But the sunken cheeks things and smile lines, deadened expression...that's not Leona. She was perfect just two months ago, no idea while she decided to push herself further. I hope her inner circle are the kind to really level with her on things. I'm not too worried about new music and career moves at the moment. I just hope she finds the space, motivation and definitely right partners to help her pick things up again. That can take some time, some prayer for luck, and I'm more than happy to give it all another year before I shamelessly begin demanding for more music.

I wouldn't be worried about her weight, let her do her thing. I think she's just enjoying eating healthy and exercising right now. She does look thin, but she has been this weight before in the early days. She looks happy to me, and thats the main thing.
February 21, 20178 yr Couldn't post this on DS where there was a smallish discussion going-on about Leona's health update, so I'll leave it here. When Leona posted that letter about her tough times with Syco, I wrote a comment on her blog to the effect that she gets her thyroid checked. Reading through it, I got the sense that a malfunctioning thyroid might be to owe for a depressive feelings. Well, it turns out I was right, and I only want to add now, as she struggles with a side effect-free regiment, to really consider vitamin therapy. That Ayuverda thing can't be good if it causes so much weight loss, more so because the actual cause of her Hashimoto's might be something as simple as Vitamin D deficiency. No harm ensuring Vitamin D (or even B12) are not behind her illness.

No harm ensuring Vitamin D (or even B12) are not behind her illness. I'm sure she's fine - she also mentioned she had other things wrong with her and that she's been checked/going to the doctors and they say she's doing well.. The weight loss is likely because she's eating a lot less crappy foods and eating a lot more fruit/veg. Not to mention she regularly exercises and has been doing so since just before Cats. That's likely helped her shed a lot of weight too. As long as she's being checked up regularly by doctors and they say everything is fine/going well and she's healthy, it's all good. I think her voice has benefitted a lot with her diagnosis too, as Hashimoto's can affect your voice negatively. I'm glad Leona's healthy in body and mind now - that'll benefit her vocal performances greatly in the coming years. :)
February 21, 20178 yr I need new music. Just a teaser of what is to come. We don't even know what the direction of the album will be. :drama:
February 22, 20178 yr I just don't see an album coming, it doesn't even look like she has a deal. I know she is recording but I just see the next year at least being collabs, hoping more than just Pitbull is happening, and maybe a single or two followed by an EP. There is no appetite for a Leona album anywhere sadly, she may aswell just try and build a fan base back up with a couple solid EP's and singles.
February 22, 20178 yr She needs a massive hit as a feature. A couple would be nice. Then an album 2018. Get her on a rapper's single, or a another big female singer's song and/or a massive DJ. She needs a hit. Edited February 22, 20178 yr by Karma

That's what I've been saying since before the Thunder album!!
February 25, 20178 yr I really hope whatever direction she takes the album in that she delivers a nice, clean, crisp production. That was probably the biggest negative about I Am for me.
March 13, 20178 yr Soe has said on DS that Leona has stated in an interview that she wants the album to be released this year! I'M READY :drama:

March 15, 20178 yr wow, through who, DEF Jam worldwide? Nothing has been mentioned regarding record labels atm. She's still on the Universal UK roster apparently so maybe it's still TBD.
