High Spirits Review ofSpirit - Leona Lewisby

Advantages: Some lovely songs, Leona has a great voice Disadvantages: Full of ballads, no up-tempo numbers
...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! ...

Advantages: Excellent songs, not a bad track on the album Disadvantages: None
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 ...

Advantages: Slick production, easy to get into, 14 tracks! Disadvantages: A few too many ballads, a couple of tracks could have been removed without issue
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 ...

... ...My Opinion *
I think Spirit is one of the best albums out there at the moment. The album contains a mixture of ballads and songs you can dance to. It's an album you can listen to when getting ready for a night out , for chilling out , or to have playing along in the car. Her vocals are rich and powerful ; She is just amazing to listen to , and to think that she is so young. She is like a younger Whitney Houston. This album is great for people of ...

Advantages: Her Voice, The Presentation Disadvantages: Some Songs Better Than Others, Some Boring Songs
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. ... ...beginning 10 seconds not being on the radio or TV version.
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 ...

Additional notes
Album Notes: 2006 X-Factor winner Leona Lewis's long-awaited debut LP 'Spirit' comes nearly a year after her first single, 'A Moment Like This'. Preceded by 'Bleeding Love', this release sees Lewis collaborating with a wealth of different producers and writers (as well as the ubiquitous Simon Cowell as executive producer) including Damon Dash and Ne-Yo. The sound ranges from slick R&B pop to power ballads, finding room as well for a delicate version of Ewan Macoll's 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'. Lewis herself was heavily involved in the writing process, sharing credits on several of the songs on 'Spirit'.
