Leona is the 11th most successful female singer in Germany so far in the 21st century! LinkWould love the Christmas album help to push her into the top 10. :)

Still bitter US never got Glassheart. Are there really no more plans for a U.S. release?

From Leona's fb page: Yay! Hopefully that means we'll get the cover/title soon as well. Exciting!

I've been bored by her original work with just a handful of exceptions, but her voice could really lend itself to some beautiful Christmas covers. I'll be curious to see what she comes up with.

I've been bored by her original work with just a handful of exceptions, but her voice could really lend itself to some beautiful Christmas covers. I'll be curious to see what she comes up with. Hopefully you'll like some of the songs on the Christmas album! For those interesting, here's some clips of her singing Christmas songs: I think she'll 100% have a cover of "O Holy Night" on the album. Would love a studio verson of it!

Austin Brown (Michael Jackson's nephew) confirms he's been working with Leona LinkThey really aren't messing around. She's likely recorded a good batch of her 4th album along with her Christmas album. I'm so excited! We could get her 4th studio album early-mid 2014, not long after the Christmas album!!

Leona was in Italy and her friend tweeted this:
Maybe she's working on an opera track for the album!?!! I've always wanted to hear Leona do opera! :o

"Bleeding Love" has been discounted to $0.69 on the US Itunes store. Buy it now if you haven't already, or buy it again anyway!

Sounds cool! I wonder if she's going to be the leading lady of this film? Probably so. Also, I wonder what they mean by "comeback single"... the Christmas single or the lead single off a new studio album? By the way, I'm gonna need Leona to release the tracklist and album cover soon! Kelly and Mary J. have already released theirs.

Why did they never release Glassheart in the U.S.? I honestly have no idea. The Glassheart era was a complete mess, s**t management decisions and overall extremely frustarting. I thought things couldn't get worse than the Echo era (1 international single and only 2 UK singles), but it did.... I'm just looking forward to the Christmas album now. Also, Leona's apparantley singing the theme song of the Musical Movie she's a part of and it will be released as a single. So not only do we get a Christmas album, but we'll get the 4th studio album next year and a soundtrack album too! Lots of music from her yay!!!

Leona has done a duet with Michael Bolton covering "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and it sounds fantastic! They literally took out Delta's vocals and placed Leona's there. I'm clearly biased and love the Delta one more, but Leona does the song justice.

I think her voice better suits the style.

Perhaps she didn't want to as it would mean long flights to promote between the UK/Australia? After all, she has enough success in her home country to live well off until the day she dies. Anyway... back to Leona. I hope she has a lot of great promo slots lined up for promotion. :)

What is this music video for? Doesn't look like it could be for the Christmas album.
Anyways, I rediscovered Glassheart earlier this week (and specifically the amazing "Trouble" and title-track), and I still can't believe this never got an international release or any real push. It really is a solid album, and the title-track and "Come Alive" certainly could have had a shot at being mild hits in the U.S. Ugh.

What is this music video for? Doesn't look like it could be for the Christmas album. It's not a music video, it's a movie. :) Today Leona did a Q&A on twitter and we got a bunch of info!! 1. Leona shot the album cover yesterday 2. The lead single is an uptempo song 3. "Oh Holy Night" is on the album 4. Her favourite Christmas song is "Winter Wonderland", so might be on the album 5. She's shooting the video for the lead single in a couple of weeks 6. Leona has TV performances at the end of October Some great info!! Makes me so excited!!!
