I’m always thinking of scenes in my head.” .... While Leona readily admits she is well aware of the expectations on her in following up her 6 million plus selling debut SPIRIT, she wisely focussed on putting that out of her head and just creating great songs – none more so than spine-tingling lead single HAPPY, co-written with Leona’s old BLEEDING LOVE compatriot Ryan Tedder. Rising from a fragile, almost acapella intro, a gorgeous piano line carries it to an anthemic life-affirming chorus featuring a gravity defying vocal performance from Leona. .... “That vocal was totally spontaneous, I sang it down as soon as we finished writing, Sometimes it’s better not to overthink things,” says Leona shrugging off any fears of recreating those head-spinning high notes live. “It’s weird because the highest parts of my voice – my head voice - are the actually ones that I find easier singing. I was trained in Opera so that comes really natural to me.” .... Leona says it was hard to think of a title for the album straight away, but when it finally came it made absolute sense. ECHO not only reflects the record’s ‘epic and ethereal’ sound, but what’s more it appeals to Leona’s innate love of fantasy and otherworldliness – the places she would go in her head as a child ‘to escape’ and start creating the songs about other worlds, other lives. .... “Echo was a nymph in Greek mythology and she fell deeply in love with a boy who didn’t return her love,” she recounts. “ But she loved him so much that she pined away till only her voice remained. That’s a really sad and beautiful story.” .... For Leona's full biography visit ..www.leonalewismusic.co.uk.. .... .. .. ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ..

Leona Lewis - I Got You

About Leona

Biog By Adam Mattera
Now and again, when Leona Lewis sits down in the studio and listens back to a recording she has just made, she starts to cry. Like the millions who have been touched to their core by her voice since she won that show and began releasing a series of songs that defied preconceived ideas of what mere ‘talent show winners’ could ever be or become, she is at times caught off guard by the haunting, ethereal quality in her own voice and is, quite simply, moved to tears.

“It’s weird I know, but sometimes it feels like something outside myself. It’s not necessarily that a lyric is even something that’s happened to me but I almost feel like it has because I can get swept up by the emotion, and when I do it can be overwhelming.”

Big emotions and sweeping, widescreen melodies form the beating heart of her much-anticipated new album ECHO, which sees her re-teaming with the likes of Max Martin, Ne-Yo and John Shanks as well as working with new collaborators Xenomania and Julian Bennetta. Direct, incisive song titles like BRAVE and BROKEN cut to the chase, setting emotions-laid-bare lyrics to timeless yet utterly contemporary soundscapes.

“I really wanted a dramatic, almost filmic quality to the songs,” says Leona, a self-confessed ‘film nerd’ who unexpectedly name checks 80s fantasy The Labyrinth as her favourite ever flick. “We would even put on movies on in the studio to inspire us, it was a cool way of writing. I’m always thinking of scenes in my head.”

While Leona readily admits she is well aware of the expectations on her in following up her 6 million plus selling debut SPIRIT, she wisely focussed on putting that out of her head and just creating great songs – none more so than spine-tingling lead single HAPPY, co-written with Leona’s old BLEEDING LOVE compatriot Ryan Tedder. Rising from a fragile, almost acapella intro, a gorgeous piano line carries it to an anthemic life-affirming chorus featuring a gravity defying vocal performance from Leona.

“That vocal was totally spontaneous, I sang it down as soon as we finished writing, Sometimes it’s better not to overthink things,” says Leona shrugging off any fears of recreating those head-spinning high notes live. “It’s weird because the highest parts of my voice – my head voice - are the actually ones that I find easier singing. I was trained in Opera so that comes really natural to me.”

Leona says it was hard to think of a title for the album straight away, but when it finally came it made absolute sense. ECHO not only reflects the record’s ‘epic and ethereal’ sound, but what’s more it appeals to Leona’s innate love of fantasy and otherworldliness – the places she would go in her head as a child ‘to escape’ and start creating the songs about other worlds, other lives.

“Echo was a nymph in Greek mythology and she fell deeply in love with a boy who didn’t return her love,” she recounts. “ But she loved him so much that she pined away till only her voice remained. That’s a really sad and beautiful story.”
