Customer Reviews

Pure Class - Track 10 Is A Masterpiece!!!!
Having been fortunate enough to have an advance, I've been playing this CD in my taxi for about 2 days constantly and people are asking me one question and one question only.....who is singing this song?..........I know it from somewhere...

Just like she did with the cover of Run last year, Leona has covered another rockband song, 'Stop Crying Your Out' by Oasis and it is simply beautiful. The CD is worth buying just for that record alone.

The rest of the album is a usual mixture of up-tempo numbers that fall easily into Leona's range and the typical "only Leona and Mariah can do these' songs with beautful fluttering notes and huge endings.

Personally, I think the weakest song is her first release, Happy.

I would have loved to see the Oasis cover version released first, but maybe after she did that with Run, its not best to be known as a singer who just does other peoples hits.

Track 13 is a duet and is nice.

Much better than Spirit, but then when the artist gets an input into the lyrics you can tell that the songs are from the heart and therefore sound much better.

The voice is still there, however wrong material
I am a Leona Lewis admirer. I willed her on to win xfactor, bought her debut album and hoped her second offering would outshine her first - but unfortunately it doesn't. The songs all sound the same and there is no variation in the type of genre's she sings in which i know she is capable of. We don't get any real soulful sounding songs, we get no R&B, no jazz elements, not even rock. All the beats sond like bland pop tunes just going through the motions. Where is the writing talent in these tracks - i feel the writers have a lot to answer to here.
I expected Leona to use the repetoir she has vocally and impart them on different sounds a classic example of this was christna Aguillera's stripped album when she delivered blues to pop to rock and showed versatility. I know Leona can do this - but unfortunatrely it seems her creative side is being clipped to suit what her record label want her to make and that right now seems to be bland empty sounding pop tracks. I cant wait for her to make a credible sounding album with variety and when she does I'll be the first to big her up.

Average as expected better from a superstar!
I admire for what Leona had done Stateside and selling over 6 million albums is an impressive for a debut artist coming out of a reality television show. What did I expect from the second album? Follow-up albums has always been a testing point for any artist who have sold millions of records (CDs). However, I had no doubt with Leona's vocal range and through the press, of top collabrators working on her second album. By any means, the first single 'Happy' is disappointing as I thought she would release something different - to put it bluntly - bland and non-script.

Overall the album is very cohesive, and heavily laid with ballads to show Leona's vocal ability (no can ever doubt) but at the same time, none of the songs are as catchy or memorable like her Spirit, for example Better in time, Bleeding Love and Footprints in the Sand. There is the high tempo number 'Outta of my head' - a mix between the GaGa and Kylie, but never quite as good or convincing.

If I had to choose the best tracks, they are I Got You, Stop Crying your Heart Out (brilliant cover of Oasis) and Dont Let me down (with Justin Timberlake backing vocals).

I am fairly disappointed with the album overall and expected a top-notch album with a mix of R&B from the likes of Ne-yo and Akon. Leona, sure has a great voice and this time, most of time I ask the question, she does not put enough of her personality or emotion into her songs - which is missing from this album.
