    New Song: Leona Lewis – ‘Come Alive’

    Leona Lewis

    Fans of Leona Lewis have been waiting patiently to hear her new material and she finally delivered earlier today. Performing at BBC Radio 1′s Hackney Weekend, the songbird debuted a new song, ‘Come Alive’ in a bid to build buzz for her long-delayed ‘Glassheart’ album.

    Back by club-geared Dance music arrangements, ‘Come Alive’ continues the trend set by Lewis’ failed ‘Glassheart’ single, ‘Collide’. Yes, dearly beloved fans of good music, Lewis has followed in the footsteps of Alexandra Burke into Dance territory.

    Listen to Lewis’ ‘Come Alive’ below:

    Why great singers, such as Lewis and Burke, opt to join the bandwagon is a trend that continues to be baffling and disheartening. Although we haven’t heard the final studio version of ‘Come Alive’, it is clear that the record will be a major club anthem. Yet, as we we observed from Burke’s failed ‘Heartbreak on Hold’ project, this type of music does not sell albums!

    Hopefully, ‘Come Alive’ will not be released as Lewis new single. If that s the case then it would be wise for her to ready a double release with an additional ballad. All we can do at this point is hope for the best.

      You think this is club? Yeah it has electronic sounds but to me it’s more dark and atmospheric, It makes me think of Florence & the Machine and the dark electronic music that didn’t make it to the final version of the new Evanescense album.
      Personally I think this is one of her best songs yet, I love the darkness and the lush instrumentals and I hope the album is full of big songs like this. I also think she needs to drop the charade that the album is “Glassheart” I’m pretty sure the album has been re recorded minus “Collide”, she should name it after this track and re shoot that tacky artwork with something dark and epic looking.

    • Ethan

      I wouldn’t call ‘Come Alive’ a dance track.
      It’s quite dark and unusual, the production sounds good from what can be heard, but the lyrics and overall melody are easily forgettable – hoping this is just an album track, not a single!

      Doesn’t make sense that she has stronger songs, such as ‘Glassheart’, but chooses not to sing those at big audience festivals.

    • Amanda

      Lol this is not a club song at all. It’s like a dark ballad; weird to describe. I don’t think this album will be dance, I think it may be light rock/pop. Anyway Leona could do much better than this song, I was disappointed.

    • olly_tei

      Synths don’t equate dance music, and in the UK dark electronic music sells tons of albums. I like the fact that its a darker direction for her, I would love to see her draw further inspirations from bands like Radio Head. This track is cool, but average when compared to genre standards.

      I’m just glad she’s beginning to carve her own path in the industry with this and the hurt EP, songs like love birds would be a waste her talent, the industry is already saturated with such music.

    • cazz

      love it she looks and sound amazing

    • Joss

      Wow, sounds HOT! very interesting… with emotions… and the beat… darker… I like it very much!

    • Girrrl

      I like it! It is weird hearing Leona sing Put it on me though.

    • http://thelavalizard.com Poisonous

      I agree with guys. Its dark but not clubby. I think this might do well….

    • Zuzu

      wow I can not get this out of my head… It’s almost magical

    • BDBDAN

      This song sounds more like something Katy Perry or Evanescence would perform but she sounds like she’s forced to sing it.

    • Mike

      I actually think it’s incredible (especially the chorus) and it’s not really a club song as at all as the chorus is slowed down. Like someone else said, it’s kinda like a much more edgy, grittier ballad.

      And this is not the new single.

    • Mike

      @Girrrl, that’s the only thing I don’t like is that part. It doesn’t fit her.

      And for those wondering, there are ballads on the new album.

    • hassan

      It is not a dance track and I do like the track however I need to hear a studio version! If not then she needs a GREAT song for her first single

      She already confirmed “Trouble” (originally supposed to be the second single last year) as the lead single. If the reviews are anything to go by, we’re in for a treat with that one.

      And this song is definitely a dance track but it’s not a club track. Not every dance song is catered to a club. This is too slow for a club. Before the dance phase took over there was such a thing as great, non generic dance music.

      This has elements of dance mixed with hard rock. It’s not like anything else at all and hardly generic.

      All the songs were written regarding her life as well, it’s not like she just went in and recorded whatever. Pretty sure this about her new boyfriend and how she feels alive around him whereas she felt “dead” with her ex.

    • Mike

      And I was referring to Alex in that last statement, who just went in and recorded whatever.

    • Fan

      I like the beat…I couldn’ t understand her give me the studio quality.

    • Fungurl

      I wonder what others think of “Come Alive” Xcited for LeonaLewis #Glassheart to drop in a few months & MariahCarey album also #MCSummer2012. A+Mazing my two fav singers

      people said she was boring with the ballads then adele comes along and its not boring now leona steps out the box and lava?? why the comments??? I think this song is quite different and shows leona is moving on…cant wait for the album and I think this whole era will put her back at the top ;) ) PLUS the voting says its HOT!
