Spirit - Leona Lewis

...one album, which is titled Spirit but she is set to release her second in November 2009. Spirit was released in 2007 and debuted in the top spot in nine countries including the UK, the USA, Canada and Australia. The album became the biggest album seller of 2007 in the UK and Ireland. And the 6th biggest selling album of 2008 in the world. == Spirit – Album Inlay == Album inlay’s aren’t exactly something that really interest me, although I do prefer ...
...basic one. For me the Spirit album inlay is a decent one as it contains one of the two things that I look for in these small booklets. That one thing is the lyrics to all of the albums songs. The lyrics in the booklet where also printed in black on white or pale blue backgrounds which made them easy to read – not always the case. The booklet also contained (next to the lyrics) some tasteful pictures of Leona as well as the usual musical dedications ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

Being a huge fan of "The X Factor" (A UK Entertainment television show), I was a massive fan of the 2006 winner Leona Lewis, & absolutely loved her first single "A Moment Like This". However, it wasn't until the following November when Leona's album "Spirit" was released, following her hugely successful number one "Bleeding Love", which stayed at the top of the charts for a seven week run. == TRACK LISTING == === Bleeding Love === The second single ...
...selling single of 2007, and due to it's international release, was also the best selling single of 2008. It has reached the top spot in an incredible 34 countries - and you can see why. It's a brilliant track, perfectly suited to Leona's voice, but with a tune and a sound that anyone would like. Young and the old alike are bound to enjoy this song, and I think that is what guaranteed its success. It also has a different sound to it - not the usual ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

...single. So 10 months later....was Spirit worth the wait? Sadly, the cover didn't stand out as anything amazing, just a facial shot of Leona, which sort of reminds me of the cover of Britney Spears' debut single Baby, One More Time. But the tracks themselves? Well, you do get 14 tracks for your money from Leona, and what a stonking 14 tracks they are. I have reviewed them below in the order they appear on the album. Bleeding Love: I wonder if there ...
...can just chill out to, Spirit is the one for you. A superb debut, and I look forward to Leona's second offering. You can buy the CD from Amazon for £8.98 but my copy was a Christmas pressie, so thanks to my mum for that! You can download the album too, but prices vary according to different websites. The album runs for approximately 57 minutes. Thank you for reading! ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

It's been nearly a year since 22 year old Leona Lewis was crowned the winner of the third series of 'The X Factor'. Leona was mentored by Simon Cowell throughout the series and praised by the other judges and was a firm favourite by many people from the beginning, she was definitely one of the most talented contestants in the third series and was even being compared to major singing sensations such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera. ...
...actually ended up winning the show. She was given a £1 million recording contract and released her first single 'A Moment Like This' which went in straight at No1 in the charts during Christmas week. The single was so successful that it actually sold more copies than the rest of the top 40 combined! However, things have been very quiet ever since as Leona has been taking her time to record an album that she is happy with rather than rushing out ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

Well, it's been a while but has she cracked it? After a year of keeping her under wraps, it must be a sign they are taking the winner of X Factor 2006 VERY seriously. In fact, after her debut single A Moment Like This back in December 2006, she drifted into what we thought was the typical X Factor obscurity bubble along with that Ray bloke with the quiff, and those other chaps...Journey erm, ... well there you have it. Can you name any of the others? ...
...wearing, non-swearing, non-drug taking, not-a-bad-word-against-anyone soul. Is this girl in the right business? Thankfully, for music lovers and those appreciate fine vocals....Yes. Definetley. Without a doubt. There was a reason she has been hiding under the duvet all year - and this album proves it. This review may be biased anyway so remember that - when Leona did her fist "cold " interview I turned to my wife and said "that's the girl who'll ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

11 Months after the 22 year old Sectary Leona Lewis won the x-factor her album has finally been released, Leona said she wanted to work on her album, she has done that but the big question is was it the right thing to do ?. Well there is 13 tracks on the album and one bonus track. The first song Bleeding Love we all know as it has been released as a single, I defiantly think that this song was a good choice. After it hitting number one in the UK. ...

The second song is What Ever It Takes this is one of my favourite songs on the album because it is upbeat and very positive the background is a reminder of Nelly Fertado, This song lasts 3.28. The Third track is Homeless a much more deep song that Leona really shows of the range of tones her voice can reach the instruments used on this song are a great difference compared to the previous ...

...features in Leona's debut album Spirit as a bonus track. The song was written by Jorgen Elofsson and John Reid. The song is an emotional ballad and Leona's voice sounds incredible. You can hear the emotion in Leona's voice as this is obviously a song close to her heart as it is her first single since winning The X Factor. * Spirit * Leona's debut album, Spirit, became the fasted selling debut album ever in the United Kingdom and the Repbulic of Ireland ...

The video for the song was shot in Los Angeles. The song has 6 storylines about couples in different stages of their relationships. The video and song describes the first love to heartbreak and anger. I love this song because I think the lyrics are brilliant, there is so much emotion in the ...

...CD collection. Leona Lewis Spirit is one of the exceptions. Although I have somwhat liked the tracks that she has produced and found myseelf singing along to them when they have been on the radio, its one of those albums that I didn't impulse buy, however it has now found its way into my CD collection. Reality TV shows have been around in abundance for around ten years now. We have seen the likes of Pop Stars, Pop Idol and X Factor within the music ...
...Celine Dion. Th Spirit album is very good in itself. Although it is packed full of ballads from start to finish, its an easy listening album, which is packed full of different beats to give each song a little variation. You have the typical ballad with instrumental backing music, a couple of tracks with R N B music and also a couple of tracks with some pretty funky beats.

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

...head which is nice. Spirit was her debut album and was released in 2007. According to an article I read Spirit became the fastest-selling debut album and the biggest seller of 2007 in both the UK and Ireland, and made Lewis the first British solo artist to top the Billboard 200 with a debut album. It has now become the United Kingdom's fourth fastest selling album of all time. To date the album has sold over 6.5 million copies worldwide[1] and has ...
...says she named the album Spirit because "it is my heart and soul and the voice within that says everything is possible." I really like this album and I think it really shows of Leona's special voice. Most of the songs are ballads which she is very good at. Of course probably the best known song on the album is Bleeding Love which is track number 1, leading off a great album. I always like it when a great tracks starts an album as this puts me in ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis - the best thing for British music since Robbie Williams, The Spice Girls, and even Elton John! She really does have the voice of an angel and the potential to be a worldwide superstar! Listening to this album I'm sure will give you the same opinion and will wipe away and pre-judgments you may have about "factory-produced" artists from shows such as he X-Factor. There is nothing "fake" about this album. Leona shows us just why she was ...
...is the best British talent out there. Of the albums 14 tracks, I can only possibly fault 2 of them, the rest - flawless, soulful and griping. There is a combination of ballad style tracks, mixed with some more up-beat R&B style, all encompassing the distinct, beautiful voice of Leona. The tracks "Angel" & "Take A Bow" are the only two tracks which personally I could fault. Both of them have a more electronic feel to them and the back beat of "Angel" ...

...and Leona Lewis' new album Spirit came on. I must admit I didn't really think I was going to like it but I really do love it. I haven't bought it yet because i'm getting it out of my birthday money but I really can't wait to own this album. If you thought 'A Moment Like This' was good, well, you will be absolutely delighted with this. Although I was listening to it in a jam-packed shop full of crying kids and a load of people talking, I was really ...
...I'm ashamed to say I don't know the name of every song on the album but the best one (from what i've heard so far) has to be, without a doubt, 'Bleeding Love' It has the ability to make you shed a tear, which is extremely rare nowadays. It also has words that can fit into almost anybodys life. Well it fits into mine anyway. This album has been on my birthday list ever since that day in HMV and I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, I will ...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

I personally loved the CD there was not one track on the CD that I did not like. The songs are a kind of Celine Dione meets Kylie. The songs are both modern yet have that harmony to it. There are covers like "Take a bow" which is one of my favourites on the album. My parilular favoyrite track is "The best you never had" as it reminds me never to take back a boy because he says he will change his ways when you suddenly hit success. This album has ...

Brilliant album - Leona has such a fantastic voice!! I loved every song on that album... bought it immediately when it became available. Have to admit, Bleeding Love is my favourite track - but the others are great as well! There is not a single song there that's not great (or better!). With her voice, she totally deserved to win and the production people really put a lot of effort into producing an album with so many good songs - perfectly suited for her. Brilliant!! ...
