MUSIC NEWS: LEONA LEWIS TO RELEASE ALBUM IN US / GNARLS BARKLEY TITLES ALBUM ODD COUPLE / KELLY TALKS ABOUT BEYONCE & MICHELLE / MARIAH CONFIRMS NEW SINGLE

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 |

The beautiful Leona Lewis is setting up shop to release her debut album, Spirit in the United States, after garnering some huge success overseas in the UK. Endorsed by American Idol’s misfit, Simon Cowell, Leona’s debut album is going to hit shores in the spring.

“The first thing I said to Leona was, ‘Look, I don’t care if it takes three years-we will do this album and we’ll do it right,’ ” SyCo head Simon Cowell told Billboard late last year. “She is an artist I can trust.”

J/SyCo Music will release the disc here on April 8 and the first single “Bleeding Love,” is now on iTunes. The new video debuted this week, and it’s directed by the popular director Jessy Terrero.

For its U.S. edition, Spirit will include two new tracks: the Akon-penned “Forgive Me” and “Misses Glass,” written and produced by Madd Scientist and RockCity. Spirit has been an immediate phenomenon in the U.K., where it debuted at No. 1 on the album chart in November. “Bleeding Love” was also a multiple-week chart-topper there.

I actually am digging Miss Lewis. I hope that she can get the same steam over here as she has in the UK.

NEW MUSIC FROM GNARLS BARKLEY

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 |

♫ Gnarls Barkley - Run

Even though Gnarls Barkley only confirmed that they are almost complete with their sophomore album, now titled Odd Couple, new material has already leaked. It has that same funky, soulful feel that can be found on their first album, St. Elsewhere. “Run,” apparently the first single, is fun, funky but a tad bit more organic, with more live instruments. I have always loved Cee-Lo’s voice - even in his Goodie Mob days. He takes a lot of risks vocally and I complete respect that.

I am so excited to see what else Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo have up their sleeves. Can I get a soul clap?
