CUNTISSIMO

FLOP!

Underwhelmed, and not knowing most of the nominations -- which is no surprise for me, who doesn't go too far into the Billboard Hot 100 / Billboard 200.

Following the highly-acclaimed Spirit, Echo was Leona Lewis' second studio album. It saw her working with many "name" producers, such as: Max Martin, Harvey Mason Jnr, John Shanks & Ryan Tedder, among others, however, Syco⏤much like with the release of Spirit⏤mishandled the fuck out of this era. "Happy" was the album's lead single and while praised by critics, I felt like it provided a false start to the era, and isn't a single-worthy release. I would have kicked-off the era with its second single, "I Got You" and went from there. Praised as the next Mariah Carey, Céline Dion & Whitney Houston, I do believe Lewis was always set up to fail by Syco and her management, and it's unfortunate because of her powerful gift.

I am devastated by this; quite shocked, honestly.

Cute opener. Love the medley, too.

I would die.

It'd be amazing!!!

Kylie needs to sign her up for the Tension Tour.

OMG PLEASE!

omg I adore you.

I need these, stat! 😉

Now this, right here, would have been an absolute SLAY of a good time.

I need it; it's a shame her visuals were not recognized by the MTV Video Music Awards, though.

Bonnie we want solo tour.

This album was doomed from the beginning. Written and recorded following her near-death experience with malaria, Messy Little Raindrops was simply that: messy. The album had two singles and only one was successful: "Promise This". Through the Shadows is an alternate title I would've given the album, or even Spread Your Wings, both lyrics from "Promise This", which would've felt more... promising for the album. I also would have included re-recorded edits (to match the album's dance-pop production) the b-sides "Boys" & "Just Let Me Go" from 3 Words, because they would have fit so well for this project. I also would have forged ahead with the planned third single, "Everyone" with Dizzee Rascal as the album's second single, instead of "The Flood" (which, while a cute song, was not single-worthy). Track listing Promise This Yeah Yeah (feat. Travie McCoy) Live Tonight Amnesia Everyone (feat. Dizzee Rascal) Boys Hummingbird Better to Lie (feat. August Rigo) Just Let Me Go Happy Tears The Flood Waiting Singles Promise This Everyone (feat. Dizzee Rascal) Just Let Me Go Amnesia Yeah Yeah (feat. Travie McCoy)

This would've been an absolute WIN! No other can / will compare to this.

Lead from re-issue?

Cannot wait for the tour; hope she comes here, I would love to party it up!!!

Haha yup; and they have a blue vinyl out now, too!

It was, via HMV.

yessssssss

Oh, I agree. She's given us everything major label girlies have not been giving us for some considerable time. I'm just wondering where her mind is... that's all. Love everything we've gotten (even if "Forever 21" was not 4K).
