Leona's been working with Diane Warren! Exciting stuff! Loved her work with Paoloma Faith on "Only Love Can Hurt Like This"! Hope she comes up with something amazing with Leona. <3

I do like "Only Love Can Hurt Like This," but that's mostly down to the production (love that retro, Phil Spector style) and I don't think Diane Warren had a hand on that... But anyway, hopefully Diane and Leona can come up with something really good.
Leona posted a photo of herself with Toby Gad (Beyoncé - "If I Were A Boy" / Fergie - "Big Girls Don't Cry" / Alicia Keys - "Love Is My Disease") on instagram the other day. I'd love if they worked on a couple of killer ballads.
I want a new single this year!!!

Leona has a concert in Bahrain tonight and it's all sold out: LinkLeona's PA also posted this on instagram about her: <3 This makes me love Leona even more (as if I could love her anymore though lol). Leona's boyfriend also posted this a couple days ago: LinkAnd Leona's PA recently posted this about one of the songs Leona/Diane did: LinkIt seems Leona & her PA Sarah get on quite well with Diane! Which is awesome as Leona & Diane are both animal lovers, so hope they had some great chemistry working together. :)

Good news guys. A Leona fan who has a very reliable source has been told that we're definitely getting something released early next year (very likely a single)!
Also, the same Leona fan managed to record a concert Leona did last night:
It was recorded from a stream, so the sound isn't 100% at times but Leona looked stunning and sounded really nice :) Her backing singers were a bit bad imo and she also covered "Hotel California" and sounded great on it!

Leona sang at an event tonight! Sadly there was no new song on the setlist, however because the show will be broadcast we'll get some HQ performances from it! Including a HQ performance of "Titanium" & "Hotel California". Leona sounded really good in a couple snippets. Her voice has recently been a bit off due to her losing it about a month ago because of illness and also she was in the studio a lot so it became quite tired. It's sounding like Leona's recovered/is resting her voice well. Fingers crossed will get a broadcast soon! Can't wait. Also, Leona's body is looking good & in shape. That's normally a sign that things are upon us!

List of who she's worked with so far: Toby Gad Diane Warren Becky Hill Autumn Rowe DJ Poet Stephan Moccio Jon "Rabbi" Levine Biffco Shane Stevens Mitch Allan Jonas Quant Kid Bass Austin Brown Sincere Goonrock AC Burell TMS Nick Rad Jessie Shaktin Greg Kurstin Anne Preven Steve Booker Wayne Wilkins They are all writers/producers and I think there's some people she's worked with that are missing from this list, but lots of good names there and can't wait to see what she's come up with all these people! I have a feeling there will be some really strong material. Another good thing is that Leona's been involved heavily and been writing a lot and working closely with the people she's been working with. She just hasn't been handed demos and been singing them, she's been creating new music from scratch and a lot of her studio sessions with the people above have generally been weeks at a time. I know she's had like 2 months worth of studio sessions with Diane Warren alone! So excited to hear what she's come up with! The label are aiming for early next year for the lead single and perhaps a spring-summer release for the album.

I heard BL on the radio earlier and thought about how massive that song was compared to how far she fell from the American spotlight. Hopefully this new batch of material will spark some new interest.

Also to note that they went through all her demoes at the start of the album so there could be some songs that she did a while ago. One of these that us fans are hoping to hear is a song called "Hangin' All The Roses" she did with Dallas Austin. Plus there's many many more. So excited for the album! I really hope she gives us 12-14 tracks for the album. <3

Blog from Leona LinkSo upsetting to read how Syco treated her, but I'm very excited for the material she's coming up with! Sounds like Leona is coming hard with this record and I cannot wait! :'(

Some great news! A source which 2 fans have, which has been proven reliable multiple times, has told us the following: The album is 90% complete The singles have been chosen The album is getting a worldwide release (Including the US) The album didn''t get a release in Q4 as the label thought it was pointless releasing with so much competition So it looks like that we'll get the lead single early next year, ah so excited! Also so great that the singles have already been chosen! Cannot wait.

Some more good news! The lead single is out of a choice of 5 songs which are apparantly all strong and the current outlook is for a single in the UK in early January - they just need to choose it and get the go ahead from the label. So we could essentially hear the lead single in the coming weeks! Perhaps a Christmas present from Leona?!

seems by her post that Toby Ga might be the executive producer, i dont know even though syco handled the entire Glassheart era completely wrong, the album came out AMAZING it could be due to the chemestry between leona & frasier i dont know what could come up with this new album, but it seems she's really proud... so i'm ready!

Leona responded to a fan who compared waiting for news from Leona to watching paint dry. Exciting that it seems she has something for us and that everything is almost finished!

I've been listening to her Christmas album a lot this year as well. Such a cute, short holiday record! Every song is a gem, but the originals especially slay. One of the *few* recent Christmas albums that I like in full.

Did her cd "Echo" flop everywhere or just in the US? I didn't think it was that bad of an effort.

Did her cd "Echo" flop everywhere or just in the US? I didn't think it was that bad of an effort. It did quite well in a few European countries and really well in the UK, selling almost 700k copies here. Hopefully her next album will be able to replicate that success somewhat and do well in the US too (it's definitely getting a US release!). :)

Snippet of a song: www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153836006112619I am slayed. Her voice, her confidence, that song. Omg and to think she has 5 strong potential singles and this is just one of them. I am so excited for this album. I can't stop playing that snippet it's FIRE!

The snippet sounds really good on first listen and I'm looking forward to this. Also, I don't know, but it reminds me of "Love Runs Out" by OneRepublic, so maybe Ryan Tedder is involved there.

She hasn't worked with him on the album. It does sound very OneRepublic though, but I'm not too surprised given she's worked with Tedder a lot in the past and Leona's manager said this song is all her (Which I'm guessing implies she's done the writing/vocals & been involved with the production) Also, this song is on the album based on a fan with reliable sources; www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLAzFmSKa-EA fan favourite demo that we'd never thought would see the light of day! I cannot wait for this album.

Yep, very Ryan Tedder sounding... it's actually giving me "Rumor Has It" vibes.
