| | Every once in a while, an artist comes along whose talent is so undeniable that it inspires everyone who encounters it. British singer and songwriter Leona Lewis is such an artist. Her striking beauty, charmingly down-to-earth personality, and huge, soaring voice has taken over the UK, where her debut Spirit entered the album chart at Number One and became Britains fastest-selling debut of all time.
Spirits lead-off single Bleeding Love co-written and produced by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Alias Tedder claimed the Number One spot for seven weeks, and the album sold over 1 million copies in the UK in just 5 weeks. Ushering in 2008, Leona received four prestigious Brit Award nominations, the UK equivalent of the Grammy Awards.
Spirit was written and produced by an array of top-notch hit-makers, the album is a showcase for Lewis powerhouse voice which has evoked comparisons to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Cline Dion. (Warned Entertainment Weekly: Divas, watch out!)
Those women are the true divas, Lewis insists. Theyre amazing performers whom Ive listened to for years. These are the people whove inspired me to sing, so its flattering that Im being compared to them. But I have a lot of hard work to do first!
