Big News: Leona Lewis to go dubstep with next album?

After Britney Spears brought back dubstep to the mainstream pop music industry, it appears Leona Lewis is to jump on the dubstep bandwagon and follow suit. Uhh.. No. Please no.

Leona was amazing on her debut album and songs like Bleeding Love and Run. I personally do not want an Outta My Head knock off. Apparently, Simon's team have requested songwriters to "hand them dubstep and dance tracks with traditional lyrics for the X Factor winner," a source told Heatworld.

"And they’ve specifically stated 'no ballads'," they added.

NO BALLADS. No ballads. That's like saying Taylor Swift and Ke$ha should swap music genres forever. Simon Cowell.. What are you doing?! But of course, Leona will do anything Cowell tells her to, and if it's no ballads, then it's no ballads for this ballad singer.

Ugh. Leona, please don't sell out and create a Run Part 2 with HURTS please. Please.

Big News: What can you expect with HURTS' collaboration with Leona Lewis?

It was previously announced that Leona Lewis had begun work on her third studio album with a planned release in Summer 2011. Then the collaborations started filling in, and we saw Leona Lewis working with the man that has bought the great and the bad to her discography, Ryan Tedder. Nevertheless, another collaboration that surfaced was that Lewis was to work with David Guetta. I'm not too sold on that on as I think David Guetta produces the music to a point where there's barely any soul left in the vocal.

Nevertheless, the very recent collaboration that leaked through was one with British duo Hurts. It's interesting to see how this pans out because this could be groundbreaking.. Or not. Both are fans of each other's and Hurts have recently said they would like to turn Leona into a gothic diva. Hmmmm. Don't mind me asking, but hasn't Leona played the gothic card with her debut headlining The Labyrinth Tour?

But maybe she'll get darker and darker. Let's hope her next album doesn't suffer the same fate as Echo though, that felt way too overproduced that it just left me cold.

Big News: Leona Lewis returns to the studio!

Pop/R&B British crooner Leona Lewis has returned to the studio for her supposedly upcoming third album, which record label boss Simon Cowell has set a deadline for Summer 2011. Nevertheless, Leona Lewis has returned to the studio with Ryan Tedder, the man behind the brilliant Bleeding Love and the robotic Happy. Hopefully she records something truly great to put her back on top again.
