B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L - Is Not EnoughLeona Lewis has one of most Beautiful Voices in Music, She is Britains Mariah Carey. All songs are great and each one is very different from her "Spirit Album" but the songs that I love are: Happy, I Got You, Brave, Stop crying you heart out, Lost then found. They are all fantastic songs.
If you are a Leona Lewis Fan.
It grows on you!When I first heard the CD I was a bit disappointed as I had immediately loved Spirit but found myself flicking through tracks of this. However after a few times have found that it really grew on me, I like the variety and Leona's voice just seems to get better and better. I particularly love Happy, Broken and Naked. Only track I cant stand is Outta my head, reminiscent of a Stock, Aitken and Waterman 'classic'!
Better than the first!I loved Leona's debut album, Spirit, so went out and bought this one immediatly. And I have to say, I was impressed. So much so, I will even go to say it is a million times better than her first! Leona's definitely developed more as an artist in this album, taking more risks with her song choices, and even her voice has definitely matured as well. She had a lot more imput in the making of this album, co-writing the majority of the songs, which is nice to see. If I had one complaint, it would be that she needs a few more up tempo songs, she had Forgive Me on her last album and Outta my Head on this one; and she's pretty good at them! Hopefully next time she'll include more of a range.
1. Happy: 9/10 - Definitely the right choice for the lead single; catchy with clever lyrics
2. I Got You: 7/10 - Loved it the first few times, but can get slightly boring after a while. If I'm honest, not the best choice for a follow up single; there's far better on the album
3. Can't Breathe: 7/10 - Catchy but slightly repetitive.
4. Brave: 10/10 - Very clever lyrics, nice idea for a song. Definitely one of the best on the album
5. Outta My Head: 10/10 - Catchy, up beat song. Love it!
6. My Hands: 10/10 - My personal favourite. Brilliant lyrics, different and catchy. You'll be singing along in no time!
7. Love Letter: 8/10 - Good song, good lyrics.
8. Broken: 10/10 - Very dramatic with good heartfelt lyrics. Brilliant and one of the best!
9. Naked: 10/10 - Lovely song, again, very dramatic
10. Stop Crying Your Heart Out: 7/10 - A bit boring at first, but gets better at the end. Better than the original
11. Don't Let Me Down: 6/10 - My least favourite track. Still good, but quite slow with not much dramatic impact. A bit boring
12. Alive: 8/10 - Very dramatic with lovely lyrics
13. Lost and Found: 9/10 - Lovely song with soft vocals...keep listening for a bonus track!
Really enjoying this!I am really enjoying this album. I do not think that there is as much "filler" as the first album. I have been listening to it mainly in the car and I am singing along after a few listens and not skipping much!
DisapointingI had waited to get this album and expected it to be just as good, or better, than 'Spirit'. However, what I found that the individual songs were not individual. Each sounded pretty much the same as the last. Leona has disappointingly not developed. She has a great voice but is not varying her style. In a word, boring.
