loving the album. Much better than Spirit. Here are my favorites in no order:
I Got You
Brave
Alive
Outta My head
Can't Breathe
Stop Crying Your Hearts Out
Naked
Love letter
All on repeat :) but I have to say 'Brave' by far is the standout for me I just love the middle eastern influences.
I hope it's just a producer hyping it up cause Can't Breathe while one of my faves is not the most single worthy. Maybe 5th 6th single. I Got You or Outta My Head need to be 2nd and 3rd singles.

Seems to be back tracking I hope it means this isnt true, IGY or OMH ftw.
If there is actually a buzz about Cant Breathe being the next single I think it'll be just a US single as there's a 'buzz' about it a J not Syco.

With no single really taking off at radio at the moment I expect this to debut with 30k in the US.

Happy is getting no airplay love here which surprised me that Simon or J records couldn't push this further but then again most ballads aren't doing well on radio. She will have promo her release week here so I do think that she iwll sell more than 30k but 50Cent will be #1 on Nov 17. She should be able to sell over 150k and be top 3 at the very least. |

^She wont do over 150k at all. And 50 Cent has been pushed back, Norah Jones will be number 1 I think, followed by John Mayor.
No, it should be released in summer but if Leona doesnt give US radio an uptempo next they'll probably stop playing her songs full stop.
Can't Breathe is amazing but is risky for the second single.

U.S. radio is a mess anyway, but I guess if she has to release her best uptempo to get airplay then OMH would do though I'm not a fan of that move. I want to be outside with my windows down blasting it :(

I wish Stone Hearts wasn't a hidden track. I'd like to have the final version without it attached to the end of the song.

'Outta my head' is really catchy. It could possibly be a top 40 pop hit.

Ugh at the thought of Can't Breath being single #2, they can not be serious. Its will only work if preceded by a big hit.
They need to send out Outta my Head, yes its not the worlds greatest song but its catchy as hell and more importantly its COOL !!

Will Can't Breathe be her first urban song sent to radio? I think it will get airplay. It's a great song.
Personally I'm happy about it b/c I want them to save OMH for later on...similar to my sentiments about Whitney's For the Lovers being saved for later.

Its a Mariah style track and vocal and Mariah style songs don't seem to be in vogue ATM. Radio only seem to be interested in uptempos, even Rihanna can't smash it completely with a brilliant ballad. |

That will change... Music always works in seasons. Plus the holiday season is upon us. Ballads will be back. |
