LEONA LEWIS IS A VERY GIFTED SINGER. SHE REMINDS ME OF MARIAH CAREY WITH HER VOCAL RANGE. WILL BE SEEING A LOT OF HER IN THE FUTURE.

I have been ordering Leona Lewis CD after her advertisement campaign running up and down on the Sky-perfects Fox channel in Japan.

I am writing this review after having listened to it for 3 months in a row but it still feels like on the first day.

This CD is a mainstream melancholy type production. All songs are easily listening type songs that you can run in the background when driving, traveling, waiting on the airport, in your favourite cafe, bar etc.

At first I liked the fresh energetic voice, but when you listen to the CD you realize quickly that there is more to it. Every time you listen to it you discover a different aspect of it.

I believe Leona Lewis has what it takes. She can sing a variety of songs slow, fast, loud, soft, sexy .... you name it, she can do the whole variety without being bitchy or cheap.

In this aspect I do respect also that the cover pictures are not looking like you buy a mens magazine.

Leona Lewis has the main ingredients, a clear voice, the vibration, a talent to stress the small tones and a wide spectrum.

This is the first album I have heard from her. I think its actually show casing a good range of melancholic styled songs - and more important and again - she has the voice for it. ;-)

Many people will like the CD for a simple reason - Listening to it is enjoyable and relaxing.
I have heard from people who have it running in the background while creating flower arrangements.

Last but not least this is also one of the few CD's my wive and me both like without exception - consider THAT a real achievement ;-)

You might argue that the song arrangements itself seem at times like fail-save versions for the mainstream market but I believe that is just because she hasnt found herself yet and is testing her ground. Nevertheless the voice is terrific !!

I wish that in her next production she is willing to take a calculated risk for an even better refined Leona Lewis style.

One "problem" I am facing already with this CD is that it is regularly gone to friends places and I actually have to go for it to get it back.
So that means, it cant be that bad. ;-)

So how about Lenoa Lewis you are asking ? ... for me anytime again !!

Revved up. I play it when I need to be energized. Great new artist.

this woman has a terrific voice. i bought the cd for my teenage daughter, but have found myself listening to it more and more and love it. her singing voice stays in my head during the day and i can't wait to hear the cd again!!

I love this CD. I originally bought the CD because the song "Keep bleeding" was featured on "So you think you can dance." I loved it, and had to have the CD. The whole CD is great, every song is a hit in my book. I listen to it everyday while I'm either reading or quilting.
