It's been over a year since the release of Leona's 2nd album, Echo. And at the start of September, the first release from the, as yet unnamed,forthcoming album will be made.

Called Collide, it features an instrumental piece from Swedish DJ Avicii called 'Penguin'. And all good Leona fans will probably know the controversy round the song already. Anyway, onto the song itself. This time around, they're heading in a more dance orientated feel although sadly the mono syllabic words of the verses don't do anything for Lewis' voice and it truth, it is only the final chorus where her voice truly shines.

It probably not the strongest comeback. Will it stick? Well, the fans will probably make sure that it charts somewhere, but whether it's enough to make others take notice is another thing altogether. Hopefully, this is not the slippery slide downwards...

Rating: 2/5
