Additional Spirit Information
|
UK singer and songwriter Leona Lewis will release her debut album, Spirit, in America on April 8, 2008. For the first time, Clive Davis and Simon Cowell teamed up to sign Lewis to J Records/SyCo Music (Cowell's joint venture with Sony BMG), and are both actively involved in the recording process for Spirit. Lewis, a 22-year-old London native and winner of the hit TV show the X Factor, a British talent show, has broken all-time sales records there with Spirit entering the album chart at Number One and becoming Britain's fastest-selling debut ever. Spirit has scanned more than two million copies worldwide since its release in November. In addition, Spirit's lead-off single "Bleeding Love" -- co-written and produced by OneRepublic frontman Ryan "Alias" Tedder -- was the U.K.'s best-selling single of 2007, claiming the Number One spot for seven weeks. Ushering in 2008, Leona received four prestigious Brit Award nominations, the UK equivalent of the Grammy Awards. Leona is currently in the studio recording two brand new tracks for the U.S. release of Spirit - "Forgive Me" by singer/songwriter superstar Akon and "Misses Glass" from the cutting edge producer/writers Madd Scientist and Rock City. Spirit is a mix of fresh pop and R&B, filled with "songs with a contemporary edge," as Lewis puts it, ranging from soulful up-tempo numbers ("I'm You," "The Best You Never Had," and "Whatever It Takes," which Lewis co-wrote) to ballads ("Better in Time," "I Will Be," and "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" -- a song that Roberta Flack made famous). Tracks were written and produced by an array of top-notch hit-makers, including Tedder, singer/songwriters Akon and Ne-Yo, songwriters Josh Alexander and Billy Steinberg, and songwriter/producers Dallas Austin, Stargate, J.R. Rotem, and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald -- all of whom have worked with some of the biggest names in pop. In addition to gracing the covers of UK fashion publications like Harper's Bazaar, US media are touting Leona as the artist to watch in 2008: People Magazine labels her "the UK's hottest star in an "Introducing" piece," Vogue presents her in their "People Are Talking About - The Vogue 25 Cultural Highlights of 2008" and Entertainment Weekly declares her one of "8 To Watch in 2008."

What Customers Say About Spirit:

I have thoroughly enjoyed every song on this CD. Leona Lewis has a beautiful voice.
Leona is definately another Maria Carie or Celine Dion. I expected a great CD and I was not disappointed. I had watched Leona on X-factor and couldn't believe how talented she was. The emotion and feeling she puts into her voice is amazing.
on ''spirit'', damn near every song is perfect. done even better than the original.
their version is very good too (vocally, they suck live). when i heard the snow patrol original, i would never have guessed LL would have chosen that or anything from them to redo.
the other cd titled ''best kept secret'' should have stayed a secret. the killer track ''run'' is an absolute classic.
i can only hope she NEVER EVER do another ''best kept secret''. it is night and day.
sure theres some cookie cutter tracks but that doesnt take away from her skills.
Leona Lewis has a great voice, but the song selection left me yawning. Other than the couple songs that you hear on the radio, I thought this album was boring and repetitive.
She could sing the dictionary and it would be a hit. Leonas voice is a Godgiven talent. Soft and FLAWLESS.
