Leona Lewis is 'Echo'-ing back

Simon Cowell protégée Leona Lewis has decided on a title and release date for her new album. Echo, the follow-up to Lewis' platinum-plus 2008 debut, Spirit, is due Nov. 17.

 

"An echo describes a big, organic sound," Lewis says of her choice.

 

Lewis is recording in various cities, including New York and Los Angeles. Though one track called Don't Let Me Down has leaked online, neither the lineup of songs nor the list of contributors has been finalized. "I'm working with incredible songwriters and producers, and my music has really evolved," Lewis says.

 

Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote and produced Lewis' chart-topping breakthrough hit, Bleeding Love, is one confirmed collaborator, and a number of top artists have joined her in the studio, including Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and producer Timbaland.

Love the title. :D

Not a bad name although it sounds a little lazy..

Has the official actually confirmed the title? :unsure:

 

I'm a bit in 2 minds about it, although I wasn't all that crazy about Spirit being the title of her debut. :lol: Still, the title is irrelevant, it's the material that we're all interested in! :D

It's a pretty meh title but when you think about it and read that little quote of hers it sounds perfect!

 

Guessing UK must be getting it Nov 16th now...or perhaps the 9th to give it a week for promo...

I quite like the title. It's very simple but it has a nice meaning to it. :)

i think it's a nice name. i hope it 'Echoes' :D the success of spirit.

Wow, Im so excited now :D

I'm not fussed over the name, but I never liked the name Spirit either!!

 

Is this out the same week as Relapse 2?? Cant see her beating him to #1 in the US..

So we should know the single by late september/early october :D

I think it's quite a nice title.

Aug 26 2009 - A Message From Leona

 

I’m so excited that my album “Echo” is almost near completion! It’s been a long journey and there has been happiness and tears, but now it’s nearly finally here! I have put all of my energy, heart and passion into it, and I want to thank you all for the constant support you give me, enabling me to create something which you will hopefully love.

 

I really cannot wait for you to hear it!

 

Love always from the heart

Leona-x-

 

Adorable as ever :wub:

I hope it has a range of styles rather than just the generic ballad/pop song. That said, i LOVE Run!

I LOVE the title...and im just so excited to finally hear some new Leona music :)

Okay-ish title. But like Kelly said, it's the material that matters. I'm so excited for it. I really love 'Don't Let Me Down' now too. ^_^

I'm really excited for this release :wub: And it comes out just before my birthday, so it should be a happy couple of weeks:p

"We shot her last week while she was working on a record in the studio. She was a 'You Oughtta Know' artist for VH1 when she first came out. She's an amazing vocalist, and her new song goes to radio a day or two after the show airs. They're using 'Divas' and some other stuff to launch the single. And it's an amazing song."

VH1 Divas airs on 17th September so not long until we hear the single. :D Understandable the US are getting it first because radio takes so long to build up. Can't have the album release at the same time and not release the single earlier there.

Great, so scumbags will have plenty of time to 'Limewire' the hell out of it months before we get the release date! <_< forget the US, premire it on Xfactor!

Shez up against britneys Hits Collection in the US that day!

I don't think she will have a problem outselling that lol ;)
