In November Leona Lewis’ long-delayed third album Glassheart will be released a full year after originally intended (assuming it doesn’t get pushed back again) and new music has FINALLY emerged during her set at Radio 1′s Hackney Weekend.
Rather than a Leonaballad like ‘Bleeding Love’ or a dance track like ‘Collide’, ‘Come Alive’ is somewhere in the middle. It’s a bit of a dub ballad with the odd squelchy bit and soaring vocal, and though it doesn’t sound particularly amazing in live form it sounds like it could be a keeper on record. Probably not a single, though.
Her set also included ‘Coming Home’ (featuring the country’s new favourite rent-a-rapper Wretch 32), ‘Better In Time’, ‘Bleeding Love’ and ‘Collide’.
Here’s ‘Bleeding Love’ if you fancy it.
it’s a pity the first we hear of it is a live version although it doesn’t sound great. After all this time spent working on the album, surely they could have made sure the sound is good for a live performance. After all, artists aim at going on the road to perform live, don’t they?
The recorded version will probably much better though. Good luck to her, hoping that there are no more delays.
