‘Spirit' hold at #1 with total shipped so far now over 1.1 million. Leona is on track to hold at #1 for a 3rd week also.
• 'Bleeding Love' has now been the #1 single for 5 weeks (and is set to hold next week also). It was the year's biggest selling single after just 3 weeks. It is also still at #1 (1) on the
UK airplay chart.
• In Ireland , ‘Spirit' has now passed 4 x Platinum and spent 2 weeks at #1. ‘Bleeding Love' has been the #1 airplay record there for 4 weeks, and #1 on the singles chart for 6 weeks.
Working alongside the world's biggest producers and songwriters, Leona has put together an unrivaled collection of songs. Consequently the album plays host to a veritable ‘who's who' of writers and producers, with the likes of Dallas Austin, Soulshock and Carlin, Jam and Lewis, Walter Af ana sieff And Salaam Remi all having lined up to work with Leona. Each of the tracks on Spirit has the potential to be a single. The leading track Bleeding Love is just an example of the quality that typifies the album.
Homeless is an emotional melody driven ballad and First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is Leona's take on the classic Roberta Flack track. Throughout Spirit Leona displays her signature vocal abilities and stunning range. It's clear that with or without the X Factor, Leona's extraordinary talent would not have gone unnoticed. |
