Ep. 1.50 – Leona Lewis: No Bleeding Love Lost

Following her win on the third series of The X Factor, this artist dominated worldwide charts in 2007 with the album Spirit and it’s breakout single “Bleeding Love,” but by 2009 her particular brand of mid-tempo musings were providing diminishing returns and her sophomore effort Echo garnered far fewer accolades. Seeking to reignite her career with a new sound in 2011, she released the up-tempo EDM track “Collide,” intended to be the lead single from her third studio album, Glassheart. But a public feud with an up and coming DJ/Producer and threats of a lawsuit overshadowed the track’s release and it ultimately disappeared from the album’s final track listing. Today we’re talking about Leona Lewis, and her song, “Collide.”
