Leona's 'ECHO' has leaked

Ok so the album has leaked... I've only listened to a few of the songs and tbh, this is shaping up to be the best record of the last 5 yrs... YES I am going there. It is a million times better than 'Spirit'.

OMH is gonna be a smash. The only downer so far is the hideous ft Tedder/onerepublic (dreadful band) track.


I'm so proud of LeLe. I think I'm gonna stan for her again. (I did stan for her but demoted myself to fan )

I totally agree the whole album is amazing!! Outta My Head is the #1 standout though, that track is phenomenal!! I don't like the final mix of Don't Let Me Down though, the leaked demo was fine as it was, there are too many added strings and effects on it now

Other than that really well done Leona and the cover of Oasis is really good. BTW what does 'stan' actually mean??

I love the strings. Make it much better.

This album is amazing. I loved Spirit but it had a lot of filler. Echo is a million times better. Stand-outs:

I Got You
Can't Breathe
Brave
Outta My Head
My Hands
Naked
Broken
Don't Let Me Down
Alive

Best album of the year for me so far , tis a shame it's coming out the same week as Norah Jones' as they're two of my favorite artists.

Its a solid album, its very much Snow Patrol/Coldplay route she is going, which I think suits her.

Outta My Head is amazing - it has to be a single. Max Martin never fails to deliver.

This album just makes Spirit looks like Child's play. I have to say for an XFactor winner, and an international album, Spirit was pretty good. But this album is just in another league.
I can't fault the album at all. Even though I think her other penned song should be on there instead of SCYHO, its still a pretty awesome song.

Her vocals have improved YET again. Brilliant!

in the context of what OP was saying, i would guess it's a reference to the character in the Eminem song.

It's a combination of stalker and fan I believe.

Yet to hear the full album and form an opinion, but this album is very different from her first which what we were promised. So i glad of that.

I don't wanna another innocent album full of ballads and maybe the odd upbeat song.

It is ballads but different I suppose, its hard to explain. Its very good - its a rockier side... a Snow Patrol/Coldplay side.

Not lossless quality, 320 or 256 kbps IIRC. Worth to have it until the physical CD arrives

The Oasis cover is stunning, Outta My Head is amazing and both should definately be singles. I guess if she does another Live Lounge the cover will be Oasis.

Wow.

I was expecting Spirit 2.0, but it's really good! Spirit was also good, but really boring after a while, but Echo is brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. Her Oasis cover was fab too.

I actually REALLY hope she doesn't do SCYHO for LL, Run was a special thing and you can guarantee everyone will say she's just trying to do Run all over again. I think it should stick to being an album only song and never go outside of that lol, unless she sings it on tour... that would be nice ha.

I deffo like this more than spirit, the tracks are all very individual and nothing is 'boring' or 'skippable' to me, there's only about 5/6 songs off Spirit (UK version) that I play, the rest seem quite filler and are played on occasion. I can't get over how good Broken is, it's amazing. I heart this album haha.

The Oasis cover is Shit. Has anybody even heard the original? Whyd she have to do an Oasis cover for? Cant she just stick to her xfactor crap.

She is better when she just does her own songs or songs that other people have wrote for her, because im guessing she doesnt write her own songs. Her version of Run was also worse than Snow Patrols.

She better not go on xfactor and perform SCYHO and ruin the song.

She actually has 9 writing credits on her album, being the main writer on 6 of them.

Don't worry she won't be going on X-Factor and making the song better , she'll be performing Happy.

Bet she doesnt even know what the song is about. Noel Gallagher didnt write the song so that someone can screech all over it. If i hadnt heard the far better original, then i wouldve liked this version, but fact is the original absolutely kills Leonas version.

Thank **** for that, glad she wont be singing the cover of that on that pub show, she should just stick to her own work because some of her songs are decent.

Though im not surprised that she writes most of them, not exactly Lennons songwriting skills

Btw, sorry if my posts sound OTT, had a bit of a drink lol.

Why wouldn't she know what the song is about? Also there's no need to diss her songwriting skills as I bet you haven't heard any of the other track from 'Echo', but I suppose thats personal opinion. Personally I find Leona's version better. I don't even like Oasis, not my thing. Maybe you need to lay of the drink for tonight lol.
