Love that there are supposedly so many uptempos. Can't wait to see what they choose as the first US single. The first single for the US has basically been confirmed as "Fire (Under My Feet)". Apparantley the ending of the song is even more vocally challenging and amazing than "Bleeding Love" according to fan reviews of the song, for those who heard Leona perform it at the showcase! :o

Out of the dozens of photos they surely took for the album cover, they chose that one?! I won't even speak about that font. Excited for the new music though! YAY for uptempos!

her album covers are always bad except Spirit. The Glassheart cover was awful and she looked old. This one isnt that bad but theres nothing really wow about.

I'm really glad that Leona is signed with Island cuz' they've been on the roll lately in launching new artists. (Considering Leona's current status, she might as well be a new artist)

I like the cover. I loved her cover for Echo; she was so beautiful in that shot. I thought the Christmas cover was very nice, too. Glassheart looked as if it was rushed together.
Never liked the first album's cover though--I always thought she looked like Aslan with all that hair and the close up on her ethereal-looking eyes.

Wow good for her.
Also yes please to uptempos. Even though she has the voice for aggressively moody ballads, her uptempos were always the highlights for me (i.e. the masterpiece that is "Glassheart").

That snippet sounds a little too Christina Aguilera for me to really be on board.

Also, a snippet of "I Got You" has been put on youtube:
Sounds phenominal too. I am so excited for this album - I think it's going to be Leona's best yet!

That's great for Leona. Hopefully they will get her career back on track. Does she still do well in the UK??

Glassheart didn't do too well, but Christmas, With Love did quite well and she holds the record for most top 5s by a British female solo artist in the UK thanks to "One More Sleep" going to #3. All signs are pointing at the album being a success in the UK. They have big plans for Leona so cannot wait to see them rolled out throughout the year with the single and album's release!

Leona pre-recorded the first TV performance of Fire Under My Feet today and we have another snippet: http://instagram.com/p/188a9iE2Le More videos will appear soon I hope. Cannot wait to hear this song in full and Leona's working that stage!

The full performance video is out! The song sounds really good. It really has a great vibe to it. Its uptempo enough without sounding contrived and its straight to the point. Before you even know it your right back to the hook. It sinks in and never lets go.

Low quality live version of the song:
Sounds amazing! Cannot wait for this in HQ, going to slay me so hard *_* Great to see Leona owning the stage and this screams hit to me. <3

How funny, just from the title I told myself I bet this sounds like Rolling in the Deep. And it surely does.

Wow Another Love Song sounds like it could be great! I'm excited for it! Fire also sounds like it could be a jam too even if it is pretty similar to Rolling in the Deep. This sounds like it could be a great album for Leona to get back in the game and much deserved!

SHE. BETTER. STOP. PLAYING. That first single is NO JOKE. Neither is that second, dance song. Both smashes. First and second singles please and release a ballad for a third. Envoirment, you should win Best Stan for supporting Leona like this, knowing what kind of gems she is sitting on. Then again, I DID love Echo but these songs sound SO good. If I get something like I Can't Breathe for a 3rd single, I will be dead.

If I get something like I Can't Breathe for a 3rd single, I will be dead. I've already won it once. Also, most of the album seems to be more uptempo/midtempo. And not in a forced kind of way. Now that Leona has a much better label and team, she seems to be much more fired up/invested and able to do what she wants to do!
