WOW! WOW! WOW! This album is amazing!

 

I don't know what to love as everyone here has already said it. But I will say I LOVE 'Lost Then Found' so much in it's finished version!

 

AAAHHHH! One of the albums of the year, definately!

AAAHHHH! One of the albums of the year, definately!

 

DEFINITELY! It blows Spirit away, and I love Spirit :wub:

This is an AMAZING album, OMG haven't expected it. Superb albums leaking day by day :heart: Alive is f***ing GORGEOUS. Outta My Head and Can't Breathe are great as well. Oh and i don't need to tell about that collab with OneRepublic, it was MEANT to be perfect.

 

Definately better than Spirit!

 

#GOLEONA :wub:

'Naked'!! :heart: AARRGGHHH! This album is just full of pop classics!

Broken + My Hands = :wub:

 

Echo photoshoot video! She looks gorgeous! :wub:

very solid album

wierd that 'naked' is not on the u.s version tho as sumbody said, sounds quite american and single-worthy

OK, so I am in love with this record. "Can't Breathe" is the stand-out track for me. Also love "I Got You", "Outta My Head", "My Hands" & "Naked". The rest are good, even "Alive" which seems to be the least favourite. The only track, unfortunately, I hate is "Stop Crying Your Heart Out". I literally listened to it once and I don't think I'll ever bother to again. It's such a Simon Cowell-esque attempt to recreate the magic of "Run" and although her voice is beautiful on the track, the whole arrangement feels utterly false. I don't know, with "Run", it's not something you can rehash. I can't believe I hate a Leona song, but I'm afraid it's true. Other than that, it's one of my favourite records of the year.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE her cover of Stop Crying Your Heart Out, I don't care how fake it is, it's incredible :heart: it's a song I've always felt should have been a lot more respected, one of my favourite Oasis singles...I love the new lavish production

Yeah i don't get all the Stop Crying Your Heart Out hate.....i think her version is just amazing (even if it is a blatant attempt to recreate the magic of Run) :)

Cant find it :( lol

Can someone send it me too plzz

Happy – it’s a perfectly ok song, but it’s just boring, definitely not lead single standard, and even though it will inevitably make no.1, the song itself doesn’t really deserve to IMO. 7/10

 

I Got You – Definitely a standout track. The Chorus is sweet, love the melody of the whole song. 9/10

 

Can’t Breathe – Another standout, they were definitely trying for a bit of Mariah in it, it’s pretty good. 9/10 :wub:

 

Brave – I just found it boring, her diction on this song is particularly bad even for her and I just couldn’t understand a lot of what she was saying. Definitely underwhelming. 5/10

 

Outta My Head – I thought her dancing was awful in that concert, but a great song. My favourite song on the album. Will definitely be a single at some point. 9.5/10 :heart:

 

My Hands – Happy-esque in the sense that it’s a fine ballad and there’s nothing bad about it, it’s just uneventful and she doesn’t emote very well. 7/10

 

Love Letter – I didn’t like it at first but I actually don’t mind it now, it seems like a nice chillout song. Nice. 8/10

 

Broken – I love this. I really do. Still not a fan of the way Leona emotes or her diction in this song but the chorus especially is almost dramatic. Can see this being a single with a great video. The last very good original song on the album for me. 9/10

 

Naked – Another decent song but not crazy about it at all... I guess it comes under the same heading as Happy and My Hands... 6.5/10

 

Stop Crying Your Heart Out – LOL, Run much? I really liked this song when Oasis did it and I really like this version but it’s so blatantly trying to recreate run, like seriously, they changed it to make the song sound so similar to run. I can’t even take it too seriously 8/10

 

Don’t Let Me down – “f***ing around”? That’s what it sounds like, I heard this ages ago and thought the same thing but it probably isn’t. Sadly that’s the most interesting part of the song. Another boring track, not to mention the Timbaland-influenced beat. I looked it up and so it’s Timberlake.. At least we know where Justin got his production skills from. 3/10

 

Alive – Another track I’m not feeling. Nothing much to say, I had to turn it over. 5/10

 

Lost Then Found – It’s nice, well Leona’s parts anyway. I’m just not a fan of Ryan Tedder and the fact that all his tracks sound the same. The beat is clearly recycled from Overcome by Alex and Battlefield by Jordin among others and the music sounds pretty similar to Halo. Deary me. 7/10 for Leona’s parts.

 

Stone Hearts & Hand Grenades – Ugh. Another boring one. *yawn* 3/10.

 

 

Overall: It is a pretty good album. There are some highlights that I’d love to listen to again. But I think there are just too many ballads and a handful of tracks that I just didn’t get the point of. Her emotion has improved but I still find myself empty when listening to many of her songs. 8/10.

Don't know how you can say she doesn't emote very well. :o That's probably her most emotional vocal to date IMO.
