Leona Lewis
The Labyrinth Tour: Live From the O2
(J Records)
Ever since her success on Britain’s The X Factor, Leona Lewis has garnered continual major victories in the music industry. Her latest release, The Labyrinth Tour: Live from the O2, is a live concert recorded at London’s O2, a dazzling concert arena. With her range of hits and impressive vocal execution, this UK superstar’s album Spirit earned kudos for selling the most copies in the shortest period of time back in 2008. Her latest release contains 10 tracks that boast Lewis’s live persona, which rises above her album releases.
“Bleeding Love†shows off her high falsetto, while the song extends into a roaring guitar solo. Covering “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),†Lewis adds a tighter upswing to the classic by the Eurythmics.
Full of an enamored and quite vocal audience, there is also a bit of conversation with the crowd that makes the album sound like the listener is in the same venue. Fans of Leona Lewis will still be captivated by the fortitude of her hits and her live performance. Newbies will most likely be smitten as well.
