“That vocal was totally spontaneous, I sang it down as soon as we finished writing, sometimes it’s better not to over-think things,” says Leona shrugging off any fears of recreating those head-spinning high notes live. “It’s weird because the highest parts of my voice – my head voice - are the actually ones that I find easier singing. I was trained in Opera so that comes really natural to me.”

‘Happy’ gives a hint at what’s to come from Leona’s second album ‘Echo’.  ‘Echo’ is set for release on November 16th almost exactly two years since Leona’s phenomenal debut ‘Spirit’.  ‘Echo’ promises big emotions, sweeping and widescreen melodies and spine tingling vocals.  The album sees Leona teaming up again with writers Ne-Yo, John Shanks, Max Martin and Ryan Tedder as well as working with new collaborators Xenomania and Julian Bennetta.

While Leona readily admits she is well aware of the expectations on her in following up her 6 million plus selling debut ‘Spirit’, she is focused on putting that out of her head and just creating great songs – none more so than lead single ‘Happy’

Leona says: “I’m actually more confident with this album than the last. I’ve taken more control this time and I feel more at ease with everything. To me, it’s all about great songs and I hope the songs move people as much as they move me. I hope so anyway.”

Leona admits she is at time caught off guard by the haunting, ethereal quality in her own voice and is, quite simply, moved to tears, like the millions who have been touched by her voice since she won that show and began releasing a series of songs that defied preconceived ideas of what mere ‘talent show winners’ could ever be or become.

“It’s weird I know, but sometimes it feels like something outside myself. It’s not necessarily that a lyric is even something that’s happened to me but I almost feel like it has because I can get swept up by the emotion, and when I do it can be overwhelming.”
