Lead single from Leona's upcoming album I Am. Video has been shot and currently being edited/put together. Available to buy July 24th on US iTunes.

Hopefully it's better than "Fire Under My Feet." That one wasn't bad, just boring.

Excited! Hope it's uptempo too
For some reason, I see her pulling a Natasha Bedingfield POS era with the album and singles doing slightly better in the U.S. than the UK. I don't know why.

I wish this was called Thunder Over My Head. I imagine this will sound similar to Jessie J's song of the same name.

Thank goodness they're not trying FUMF. That would've went nowhere fast.

Not excited about "classic Leona" sound. She needs to evolve. I hope this is that!

Not excited about "classic Leona" sound. She needs to evolve. I hope this is that! Quote from soneone who's heard it from Popjustice: Fingers crossed what they say is true and the song will do well. The album should go up for pre-order very soon and we'll hopefully get the snippets/hear a snippet of "Thunder" before it's premiered to radio.

It sounds like a slower "Fire Under My Feet."

I like it, but it will definitely need an aggressive roll out.

Nope I can't see it doing well but we will see. She needs to be worked here like a fresh new act. Reintroduce her properly and thunder isn't that

Boring. I can't believe this is what they chose to attempt to re-break her in the US.

Hard to say from the snippet. It sounded a bit 'nasal'vocally, but it does seem more pop than FUMF so maybe has some chance (a v.v.small chance).

Now has an impact date of July 27th for HAC/AC so assume the pop date will be up soon.

Plus the pop adds dates don't go out to July 27th at the moment, so we should get the date in the next few weeks. The song should premiere in the next week or so. Leona will be back in the US this weekend. Can't wait! Can't believe it's been almost 6(!) years since her last proper single release in the US ("One More Sleep" AC-only/"Collide" Dance-only/"Fire Under My Feet" Dance-only).

I like the preview. It's very 90s Lillith Fair.

Love Leona's look! Pic is from her snapchart. The shoot is in a rocky beach area with hills. I think the video is going to be similar to "Run" perhaps, can't wait to see it!

Leona will be at KYLD (The #4 ranked station) next week: http://instagram.com/p/48ASktQ-jK Kurt Any info about pop impact date? She's at two pop stations next week at the very least for her radio tour (ranked #16 & #4) so would assume the song would be impacting very soon.
