Beyond the incredible record breaking sales and radio stories, Leona has been embraced by the the media: Oprah Winfrey exclaimed: Wow, Talk about a Star Is Born! You re the real deal, girl! Blender s cover story stated Mariah, Leona Lewis is Pops Next Megastar and Vibe describes her as a balladeer with grace, vivacity, and dignity...with a strong lithe tone that could peel paint!
However, very few lucky people know that prior to winning X-Factor and releasing Spirit, Lewis was working on her debut album. Now, we are proud to present
you with her Best Kept Secret . A 10-song R&B Masterpiece that showcases her incredible ability as singer and songwriter. In fact, many predict Leona would have achieved superstardom with this album.
This is the album her fans have read all about, but had no way of getting their
hands on it! Many online bloggers have called this album an undscovered gem that will make Leona an even bigger star!
On the last page of the cd booklet there is a picture of Leona with the following quote: "I want people to hear the real Leona Lewis, and 'The Best Kept Secret' album embodies the true Leona Lewis".
This album has a totally different style. On this CD, Leona performs R&B. The songs are just "ok"- very ordinary. The melodies have a very narrow range and do not allow Leona to sing up in her high voice.
If you're a Leona fan and decide to buy this CD, you will be dissappointed if you compare it to her "Spirit" album. Just realize that this album is going to sound completely different than "Spirit". The songs (in my opinion) sound very typical and really don't do anything for me.
There is one slow jazzy song toward the end of the album ("I Wanna Be That Girl") that has some nice chord changes. Also the song "Silly Girl" has a nice contemporary feel to it with an interesting beat. However- the singing (even in these songs) is just ordinary.
Simon Cowell is right when he says a performer needs the right songs that compliment their voice. In this case we have ordinary songs that make Leona sound like an ordinary singer.
Very bad album. Bought it at Walmart thinking this was a new album. However, it is a combination of beat tracks, backup singers, and god awful rapping. Very disappointing. Leona should be ashamed of this album.
I love her debut album and listen to it all the time, so I was really excited that she had released a new CD. I am very disappointed; she hardly sounds like the same artist. The songs are bland and remind me of the 90s R&B that no one listens to any more (i.e. not classic Mariah Carey). Make sure you listen to the previews of all the tracks before purchasing this CD.
is this the SAME LL that i loved listening to ?!?!?!? it cant be . this person is just some prefab slice of cheese. nothing is worth listening to. this person has sunk to the lower depths reserved for some crappy opening act for al b sure. whoever is holding the real LL hostage, send me the ransom demand !!!!!!!
I knew Leona had recorded an album prior to her X-Factor fame. I had no idea it was this great!! I absolutely love the style of this record. I hope she continues to record uptempo Pop/R&B in her future albums. Good work Leona!!!
