I like Leona Lewis and her previous music.

This one seemed to be a sadder song but also on the soundtrack or commercials for "Precious" the movie and seemed fitting.

There is no question about Leona Lewis, and the star power she has earned for the past year. With the success of her debut album Spirit, and her surprising success in America, Leona has showcased a unique bravado that unlike the other young wannabe starlets like Rihanna & Jordin Sparks, that the simplicity of the voice does matter a whole lot. Her latest single, Happy from her upcoming sopmore album, Echo, hits a strong smack out of the ball park. She definitely has shown to have the pipes that follows in suit very well, where are the feeling of the song, brings in a bit of the melody that feels similar to Whitney Houston's classic anthem One Moment In Time. But unlike others, it works strongly for Leona, and shows that she has a more fulfilling voice that still stands out. I hope her next album can deliver that well when it does come out in November. Unfortunately, it is against Susan Boyle's record on the same date, November 24th. But, I do expect a great release, the way this songs feels, soulful and happy.

I'm gonna start out by saying I'm not a huge fan of Ryan Tedder's production work because a lot of it is starting to sound the same. Compare Beyoncé's "Halo" to Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" to this track, Leona's "Happy" and you see similarities to the beat.

However, although I thought this song was sadly a bust when I initially heard it on Diva's live 2 nights ago, hearing it now it's quite an improvement. It's listenable.

It starts off quiet with just Leona and the piano but once the chorus bursts onto the scene, you hear bass and Leona sporting a louder vocal.

There's also a gradual high note towards the end that will make you smile. She has great range.

I also like the cover. It's a lot different from the stuff she used to do but that's alright. She's growing.

The rating is closer to a 3.25.

3 stars.

end note: I actually like the cover art too. However, I hope the album looks more toned-down (can't post the picture I wanted to).
