CD Description
This re-release of Leona Lewis' debut contains the singles that made her an international superstar, as well as one or two extra gems that helped her along between albums. Most notable among the extra recordings here is Lewis' version of Snow Patrol's 'Run', an impassioned, revolutionary recording for the singer, and one that goes some way towards jettisoning completely the millstone of having won a TV talent show. The album itself showcases Lewis' unique vocal talent at itsmost explosive and intimate, and serves as a fine entr e toher career.

Customer Reviews

Consumer ripped off again....
Leona is a fantastic singer, and it is wonderful to see someone with actual talent win the X Factor. And Spirit is, I feel, a 'must have' album. However, as one of the millions who bought Spirit when it first came out, I really do feel the record company are taking the mickey with this release; it is just pure, cynical money grabbing without any thought to fans of the artist. Is it worth buying the album a second time basically for Run? I'll leave that to the consumer to decide.

The unfortunate thing about this is that while consumers are happy being ripped off like this, the record companies will continue to take advantage. Maybe one day people will learn.....

Good value if you don't already own the album, but...
If you don't already own Spirit, this is great value. However at the time I'm writing this, the best of the new tracks "Run" is not available for download - leaving many fans who already have the standard version of the album annoyed. Why it isn't available for download, when millions of people watched her sing it on X Factor as a guest last week is something I'd very much like to hear her record company answer. I guess there's not one executive who could answer that one without loosening their collars and wiping a trickle of sweat off their forehead. Oh, wait, it's record company executives I'm talking about. What was I thinking?

Seriously though, if you don't already own the album this is a 5 star purchase - really good. Leona is world class, and time has proved that. As someone who voted for her all the way through, I am so happy that the system actually works once in a while (unlike with poor Laura White, who should have won the 2008 show). Leona's songs - though a bit "American" in style - have grown on me more and more over time. It's only because of the "rip-off factor" that I have taken one star away.

UPDATE: I've heard it's been announced now that "Run" will be available for download from 1 December. I suppose the delay was so the album would get to number one again, which worked, but I'm glad I didn't pay a second time for the album just for the song, as I guess many other people did.

5 stars . . . HOWEVER
I'm sure this will be very good - however I can't help feeling that in recent years music companies are seriously screwing over artists fan's - we all bought Leona's album back in December last year through to now and then they have the cheek to re-release the album with TWO more songs (admittedly on this you get music videos as well, however with Rihanna and Chris Brown, the albums were literally released again at full price with THREE extra songs. So true fans who aren't illegally downloading have to buy the entire album again, Why don't the just record a whole new album - it's blatant money grabbing from their record companies.

Like I said though if you haven't bought Leona's album yet, do get this as there is some FANTASTIC music on it. =D
