No surprises, but the two sections are so well contrasted and the performance so strong we don't care. A subtle 16th overlay is heard in the percussion to push the groove along with a 16th push in the kick drum.Ī strong melody that builds from verse to chorus where it sails to emotional heights.Ī typical 4-chord I vi IV V triadic progression familiar to us from the 50s, yet somehow fresh in the way it is used here. I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding loveĪ strong pulsating 8th note groove with lots of sustained sounds heighten the emotion in the vocals which are also phrased in 8ths. My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth My heart melted into the ground, found something trueĪnd everyone's looking 'round thinking I'm going crazyīut I don't care what they say I'm in love with you Time starts to pass before you know it you're frozen.īut something happened for the very first time with you Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain The pain is unleashed and fully expressed for anyone who needs to get in touch with it.Ĭlosed off from love I didn't need the pain The singer pours out her heart and soul about the hurt she has endured from a failed relationship and continues to feel.Īn unfettered hurt love lyric.
Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love – 4:23 (898 kbps, 28.16 MB).
Perhaps if she ditches the overpaid superstar producers next time and makes the album she wants to make, we might finally hear some of her real ‘spirit’. Still, theres no doubt Lewis is a real talent. Songs like “Bleeding Love” (produced by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney) are technically flawless, but youre left thinking is this all the sass and sparkle a bonafide Hackney gal can muster? “The Best You Never Had”, the Ne-Yo produced “I’m You” and many other songs here follow this play-it-safe formula, while the albums ballads–“Footprints in the Sand”, for example–are so bland even Whitney and Mariah would wince. It carries memorable melodies, some classic song-writing and, of course, Lewis seriously potent voice (shes been compared to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey already). You couldnt exactly call “Spirit” a bad album. Instead, her mentor Simon Cowell (and team) have coaxed Lewis into the studio with some of Americas biggest talents–Dallas Austin, Jam & Lewis–and come up with an album of weak originals. Not only is she pretty and endowed with a wonderfully elastic (four-octave) vocal range–shes also a committed vegetarian and one of the few X Factor/TV talent show winners not to immediately try to capitalise on her success with an album of weak covers. Leona Louise Lewis is something of an anomaly.
