She sold over 50,000 in the first half hour. It went on to sell 600,000 copies in its first week. ‘Bleeding Love’ is her brand new single and the first to be taken from her forthcoming debut album ‘Spirit’.‘Bleeding Love’ was written and produced by LA’s hottest emerging talent, Ryan Tedder, whose credits include Mary J Blige, JLO, Timbaland and Natasha Bedingfield. Recorded in LA this track perfectly showcases Leona’s impressive vocal prowess and from the moment she opens her mouth we are instantly reminded about her amazing voice, capable of heart stopping intensity and a playful light touch.
‘Bleeding Love’ is melody driven and emotionally fuelled. From its opening it slowly and subtly builds, until it climaxes with a soaring and heart-felt finale. It leaves you wanting to hear more.
