Speaking of Ryan, new blog from him:

 

I'm also pleased to announce Leona Lewis' 1st single off her upcoming album. The song is called "Happy" and I honestly feel it is the most beautiful song I've ever been a part of. My goal when I started working on Leona's new album was to "NOT" chase or be influenced by any of her previous hits- or any songs i've ever done with anyone else- including Bleeding Love. True artists do not look back to previous successes they look forward to creating new moments and songs the world can connect with in a different way. And that is what Leona has done with "Happy". I hope u like it as much as we do, and I hope the lyrics hit u as hard as they hit me.

The new Leona Lewis track "Happy" is UNBELIEVABLE.

@t_pot Sadly not. Think "Bleeding Love" with a little more power in the ballad. You will love.

I just heard it. It's good. Not a 'radical departure' by any means. It's an epic ballad ala Bleeding Love. She goes balls out screaming at the end, the main bit is her yelling 'I just wanna be happy'. So yeah, it's quite good if not that different.

 

:D :D

While we wait eagerly for the artwork for Happy to be confirmed, here's just a glimpse of what you can expect from Leona's stunning new look!

 

Wearing the first of many glorious creations designed by Vivienne Westwood, we think you'll agree Leona looks set to show the world just what she's made of...
