The X Factor's greatest success story to date is back, back, BACK with a brand new album – and we've got ALL the details...


Leona Lewis has finally decided on a title and release date for her new album – Echo, the follow-up to Leona's multi-platinum 2008 debut, Spirit, hits the shops on 17 November 2009.

We can't wait!

But why did the Bleeding Love singer decide to call her new CD Echo?: "An echo describes a big, organic sound," explains Leona. Oh right. Of course, silly us. 


Leona's recording in New York and Los Angeles, and a stunning track called Don't Let Me Down has leaked online – though neither the tracklisting nor the collaborators have been finalised just yet. "I'm working with incredible songwriters and producers, and my music has really evolved," says an excitable Leona.

Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote and produced Lewis' chart-topper Bleeding Love, is one confirmed collaborator, and a number of pop legends have joined her in the studio, including Justin Timberlake (swoon), Ne-Yo (yum) and producer Timbaland.

Did we mention that we can't wait?
