    New Song: Leona Lewis – ‘Trouble (Ft. Childish Gambino)’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Leona Lewis
    Leona Lewis Trouble TheLavaLizard

    Leona Lewis’ ‘Trouble’ single cover.

    Leona Lewis has kept her fans on the edge of a cliff as they waited to hear her new material and today they have been given a reason not to jump. The songbird has finally released a new song from her long delayed ‘Glassheart’ album, ‘Trouble’.

    Featuring Childish Gambino, ‘Trouble’ was written by Emeli Sande and produced by Naughty Boy as the latest single from Lewis’ ‘Glassheart’, which will be released on October 15th. The song is set to impact digital retailers in the UK on October 7th.

    Listen to Lewis’ ‘Trouble’ below:

    At first listen, it’s easy to assume that ‘Trouble’ probably won’t work as a strong single but it is actually perfect for UK radio. Yes, the production borders on the typical sound of Naughty Boy but that is exactly what makes the record so solid, aside from Lewis’ cleverly restrained vocal performance.

    Still, regardless of how good ‘Trouble’ sounds, Lewis will need a massive promotional campaign to sell her ‘Glassheart’ album. There have been several delays of this project and many people have completely lost interest. In that case, I suggest treating the album as a completely new entity, labelling the previously released single, ‘Collide’, as a buzz track and developing a heartbreaking story that will make people care. Tears win sales every time. Well, unless you’re Trey Songz.

      I actually think this is incredible and I could actually see this doing well in America tbh with the right promotion. With the decline of dance music recently.

      Wanted a few more vocals at the end but overall this really works for her.

      And it gets better and better on repeat.

    • Sober Drunk

      This song is pretty good.

    • Mike

      And the intro. <333

    • Pokemon Trainer(Sinnoh)

      sounds like a Hit to me! :D

    • LOL

      Nobody cares.

      Can i get an Emeli Sande version though ?

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSOeAIY52sk&feature=related Matthew Charlery-Smith

      This is song’s ok, but Leona will need to toughen up her image and become a lot less “fairy-like” in order to sell that harder image associated with these kind of rappers. She really needs to appeal to the Black/Urban audience.

    • Unbothered

      Why does she need to appeal to the Black/Urban audience? They don’t buy records.

    • LeAnne

      Leona Lewis slays! This song slays! And ‘Trouble’ will slay the charts.

      @ LOL – Nobody (especially Leona) cares about your ratchet ass. Go fuck yourself.

    • TheBoss

      The chorus is very good, strong song as a whole – I’ll be buying!

    • Björn

      Sooo fucking AMAZING!!! ♥♥♥

    • Esther

      I want a Emeli Sande version…

    • theman

      It’s good just not instant. It could do something. It’s needs a little more umpth. But it’s good.

    • Ms JJ (@MsAfroCAN)

      That Trey gif…
      IMHO even with Childish Gambino, this song is basic.

    • Andy

      Mariah Should cry for an American Idol Help! People didn’t like triumphant because she was singing in the song!! BTW that’s my Carey favorite.

    • http://www.leonadaily.net Eduardo

      Amazing!! I just love it :D

    • Carlos D

      This song is amazing it leave you wanting more.. it sounds like the song is long but its only 3:40 and i wanted more it sounds like a story !!! It sounds so edgy dark and suspensful but still pop ! Im Sure she will have a hit with this in the UK and Here in the US at least a top 10 !

    • Carlos D

      amazing point blank !

    • Carlos D

      This reminds me of Nowhere Left to Go combined with Scene of the Crime and when leona performed at the vmas with little wayne miss understood

    • Carlos D

      love love love 52 plays in one day

    • Carlos D

      reminds me of adele as well a lil the tambourine

    • Snehil

      Love it !! genius !

    • Carlos D

      keep loving it

    • Mike

      As someone else mentioned, the abrupt end of the song makes me keep going back and replaying it. Smart strategy?

      Also heard the version without Childish and the original middle 8 is incredible! They should’ve worked it in.

    • Carlos D

      i knowww @mike the hq was just released and like you want more you want it to keep going like it feels like a story playing !

    • MizUndaStood

    • MizUndaStood

      I’m addicted to this song & I LOVE the Acapella Version & the version w/o rap that Talenthouse has on SoundCloud.

    • Carlos D

      its beautifully done in acapella

    • MizUndaStood

      @Carlos D I Agree with you 100% A-M-A-Z-I-N-G VOCALIST

    • MizUndaStood
