Leona Lewis ft. Avicii –Collide
Right, well firstly I’d like to say, HEY: D I bet you’re all hyped up for the summer holidays and I hope you all have a great one. Also since it’s the holidays now I will be trying to post a lot more often, though at some points I’ll be staying with relatives, going out, etc etc. But I hope you’ll all check regularly to see if I’ve posted my lovely loyal readers. Here's a review I wrote a little while back and never posted, I thought it'd be a nice way to kick -start my summer posts.
Leona Lewis’s single ‘Collide’ is a huge summery anthem and extremely popular with the nation after her last album (Echo) failed to reach number one in the charts Leona went back to the drawing board and now has a fabulous song and video. She has also announced her latest album will be named ‘Glass Heart’.
After winning the X Factor 2007 she has released 2album’s a book and a perfume (which has not been released in the UK). She’s blatantly one of X Factors biggest successes.
This brilliant new single (which she collaborated with Swedish DJ Avicii on) is very different to her usual slow soulful music like ‘Run’ or ‘I See You’ it’s got more of a dance diva vibe to it, set on a sunny beach giving a very happy mood, it has kind of an ‘Ibiza Party’ theme to it. It was actually produced by the same people who produced work from the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry and David Guetta.
During the video there’s a lot of smiles and dancing, it’s got a very summery look to it, she’s seen with 2guys throughout the video dancing and flirting, she seems very confident and outgoing, and I think whilst making the video the genuinely had fun. She’s good friends with the boys from One Direction and they where tweeting each other about their new video’s this week when Leone wished Liam Payne a happy birthday he replied ‘ Thanks babe (: I need to watch your new video xxx’
Her dress sense in the video is fun, from her polka dot bikini to her light feminine dress, she looks amazing in both, and she’s is wearing very minimum makeup apart from on her eyes which looks pretty and sweet.
I adore Leona in general but this song was just the cherry on top of the cake. It’s so fun and loud, I could literally listen to it again and again, she’s got such a unique voice and personality, she’s not just like your average singer, she isn’t afraid to try something new, she won’t stick to the same type of thing again and again, and I believe experimenting is what builds you up, she is a idol to many. The video is amazing too, all the different people and outfits and the setting was just stunning, she has really been blessed with such a beautiful voice.
