  1. This song can blow up if pushed properly. It has phenomenal replay value. I can't stop listening, and I doubt it's because I'm a Leona fan. Anyone else?
  2. I find the video just perfect - playful and simple. LOVE IT! It really enhances the song. As for why Leona does not appear, its probably so she doesn't overshadow who is an up and coming DJ. Can't stop playing this. Hope it gets a radio push.
  3. I don't get the diction complaints. This is an uptempo track. Of course you are not going to hear every word. Is the video release still today?
  4. Well, you listen to it a few times and you get over the slight overproduction. I'm still so happy about it and see it as a really satisfying treat for fans. At least for me it is. So grateful.
  5. I love it but hope there is a lighter mix. No idea why they seem to have thrown everything and the iamspamspamamisink during mixing. It makes it a bit hard to listen to in parts.
  6. Yes, but I was comparing to the overall TV landscape - prime time, et al. If they had performed on The Voice, for example, it would have definitely gone to number 1. I think it works so well for live performances.
  7. Fantastic. The duet must have real chart potential if a show with such a moderate rating can take it to top 15. Calum's label would be wise to send it to pop radio. I hope this is not the only promo they have lined up for the song (single or duet) in the US.

    Lovely, but we have to admit that the sound system for the concert was pretty substandard. Quite surprised by that, unless its just the YT upload. I also think Leona's voice comes off better when she sings at a slightly lower key. I watched her other performance of BOTW and noticed that not only does she sing a key lower, but resonance and timbre are just much better. Just my two cents.

    LOL. DS gets crazy from time to time. I can't be the only just glad Leona seems to be doing fine. I think she has fully bounced back from her Hashimotos and the rigorous Ayurvedic treatment. She looks toned and not as skinny as she did earlier last year. As for new music, I'll pin my hopes on later in the year or early next year. There's absolutely no rush if she hasn't found a guaranteed smash single. She is being very smart to uphold her respectability during these times. Best thing an artist in her position can do.

    Wow, it hasn't even been a month since YATR and fans on DS are already demanding for news. Can't a girl breathe, seriously? I can't be the only satisfied with developments as much as we don't have new material release news. I also don't get the obsession with which label Leona has signed onto. The industry has really really changed.
  11. The melody for this song is a bit of a tough one for me. I've listened to it a couple of times but it just never sticks. If the song fails to catch on, I would actually attribute it to this. It's good and all, but the melody just doesn't stick once you finish listening to it. But that's just me. The experience is probably different for everyone.

    I LOOOOOOOVED her Kennedy Centers performance. Her breath control is terrific. Anyone know her technique? I'm blown a way. Such a fantastic treat!
  13. The last photo of Leona on her instagram is very pretty. Hair and make up perfectly suit her.
  14. Caught the reaction videos of the duet with Dinah Jane. What would it take to get a ''Kids React to" feature? That channel gets lots and lots of videos.

    I don't like it...because it reminds me too much of absence of new music. Favorite parts is 2:40 onwards. Leona's voice still just as rich. Will patiently wait for new music. Truth be told, it really hasn't been that long since I AM.

    Ok. Could someone please share the snippet of the new song? Saw the reaction on DS and I am now very curious about it.
  18. Hagarthy posted a post in a topic in The Music Lounge
    Darn, I would have loved to hear it. Was reading somewhere that if it is posted anywhere online then it may not be used for the album. Are their legal reasons behind this? Just curious. Not asking for it to be posted. Happy to wait as long as it takes to hear it. I just know a producer friend who usually posts his stuff on soundcloud for feedback.

    Wow, really? Most celebrities are tying hunting animals/having hunting licenses to potentially being terrorists? Really? The whole thought is so juvenile and overzealous animal rights activism I just think it's wise if taken down. It's not even the time for that, at any rate. Just trying to tread on the side of caution anyway. You know how media works. I really hope no one picks it up.

    Woops, I really think Leona needs to tone down her reaction to the Vegas shooting. It's very dangerous to wade into political territory when you are in her position, and even further, draw a controversial connection between hunters and mass killers. It's just unnecessary. Offer condolences and just move on. That gun control tweet and the hunter/mass murderer thing should be deleted before they get picked up...unless she doesn't mind a target on her back from wingnuts. They are unnecessary remarks from a PR standpoint, especially when you consider she's British.

    Just saw the pics of Leona Lewis browsing the Daily Mail. She looks lovely. I think she's finally found the right balance with her diet or is healed. She no longer looks too skinny, thankfully. As for new music, no need to rush things. It's not so much about when she releases as it is the right music and the perfect strategy for publicity. No need to stress, too, about her label status. So much has changed in the music industry in the past ten years. There are all kinds of non-traditional deals in place now. I am happy to stay patient for when she's ready to release. It's been just two years since I AM.

    I know people are not too fond of this being brought up, but does anyone else think her weight has really dipped beyond normal? I would never dabble in Ayuverda if such extreme weight loss was a side-effect. Has she made any updates re: her diet and 'levels'? I haven't had time to check. I just know she looks sickly and a lot of people seem to be complementing her on it anyway. I can understand cutting out sugar (fructose) and fats from a diet, but she seems to have switched to low carbs only and plant proteins. Really, is that a practical diet for a vegetarian? A part of me feels she is well-intentioned but perhaps misguided. Vit D therapy (if her levels are low) would have been a much better alternative route to recovery. She really looks like she needs a bit more fat and definitely muscle mass (protein) on her body. I'm just struggling looking at her pictures, that's all.
  24. I hope they go with a remixed version, because the track as it currently is underwhelms. Instrumentals are not so strong. Also, if it does well, I would hope Leona would release her own solo dance tracks, even if as part of some EP. Dance fans are rabid and always on the search for new music.

    I was listening to the new song by Imagine Dragons (Thunder) and just got a sneaking suspicion we might hear something very soon. Maybe I got caught up in the idea of a collabo with the band or maybe its just my imagination, but hopefully something drops soon.
