Hi everybody,

As promised, here’s a longer blog. Hope you’ve had a happy New Year! I’m so excited about this year as I’m finally getting to work on my new album. I’m in the studio right now with some fantastic songwriters and producers and I’m so enjoying getting creative and experimenting with new sounds and songs!

It was also a big week last week, I performed ‘Bleeding Love’ at Clive’s pre-Grammy party and Ryan Tedder played piano. It was so nice to be invited to sing again and I also got to see Whitney Houston perform, she was brilliant and worked the crowd so well. It was an inspiring night seeing Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson and Whitney Houston singing, I had an awesome time!

I also got to attend the Grammys and I really couldn’t believe that I was actually there amongst all the influential artists of our time, I felt like I was in another world! It was such a surreal experience for me, I have always wanted to be a part of the Grammys since I was a child and I enjoyed every minute of it, and of course it was great to be nominated!

I want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to all of you taking the time to vote for me at the Brits, it’s a wonderful honour and I appreciate your support so much! A special thank you to a few people who’ve been working extra hard for me on my social networks: paultallman, kieron_1992, bleedinglove786, Adrian, crocfly, Paul&Leona, Rick Sullivan, Matthew Shuttleworth, Mat Wood, Sarah Russell, Ebony Burns, Wesley Shek, Kallum Rhule, Jane Norman, Canadian Jones, Daisy Smith, A D I D AS, -Ross’, Lucia Smith, Emiily.Bebii.Xoxo, Leona Lewis France, NARINDA - VOTE LEONA LEWIS, Vote For Leona To Win Brit Awards For Best Single, puppie, Ivan Cantu, Bernard Tabone, && iR0CKs Y0UR W0RLd, QueenCPhoenix.

I really can’t wait for you to hear my new music, you’re all in my heart!

Love always
