Star-studded cast for second album for Leona Lewis
There is some fantastic talent hovering around the development and production of the second album for Leona Lewis. The combination of singers, songwriters and producers could create a real classic, and might expand Leona’s popularity into new musical styles.
As well as working on her own album, Leona may also contribute to other people’s. A collaboration has been discussed with Jordin Sparks, so could that be an X Factor winner Vs American Idol winner mash-up of two great voices? And which album might it appear on? You can also hear Jordin singing a brief acoustic version of Bleeding Love in a medley with Tattoo in a radio station studio here.
Back in the studio, Leona has been working with, or has received demos from, an impressive list of talent:
- Ryan Tedder, who wrote Bleeding Love, and Leona have completed “two and a half songs”
- Josh Kelly (and hubby of Katherine Heigl) has been writing a song for Leona
- Justin Timberlake has been in the studio with Leona, “which has been great”
One potential track is called Don’t Let Me Down with Justin producing and James Fauntleroy writing - the song has already been described as “a surefire smash hit!”
