British 24-year-old songstress Leona Lewis has every reason to be "Happy." The brand new lead single from the winner of Britain's X Factor is from her sophomore album, “Echo”, a powerful follow up to her 2008 triple Grammy nominated album. Like her debut single "Bleeding Love," "Happy" is a ballad that showcases Lewis' strong set of pipes, and the piano build-up fills the song with strong emotion. Massive! Huge!! Monster comeback single!!!Co-written by Ryan Tedder of One Republic and Evan Bogart, the duo was also behind Lewis's break-through hit, "Bleeding Love." "Happy" is a song about a failing relationship headlines with the lyrics 'I Just Want to be Happy' as the chorus speaks of letting go..., has hit the Internet with positive reviews so far, Digital Spy has had positive things to say about the single, calling it a "strong lead single that sounds like a number one, and a powerful and moving song." "Happy" is sure to be another hit for Lewis. A tune about going after happiness no matter the cost, Lewis belts out the notes with ease. It's the type of song that will sound brilliant live, so hopefully it's on the set-list when Lewis performs at Divas Live! on VH1.
Lewis has now emerged as a fully-fledged diva. Her 2007 "Spirit" made of her an international star and not just yet another winner of a televised singing competition. In 2009, her powerful voice has often drawn comparisons with Whitney Houston. Lewis has said that she is feeling nervous about the release of her new single, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said, "The vocal was totally spontaneous. I sang it as soon as we finished writing. Sometimes it's better not to over-think things." "Happy" will be available via iTunes on September 15 and will start hitting the radio waves September 21. The album "Echo" is co-produced by Simon Cowell and Clive Davis, will be released on November 17.
