It’s been almost a year since we heard anything from Leona (Hurt: The EP was released last December while fans awaited the release of Glassheart) but now she’s back with a second offering from the forthcoming 3rd album.

Trouble is dark and brooding, and reminds us a little of Emile Sande….and it’s probably because that she had a hand in co-writing the track. However, that’s about as much as it reminds us. The opening of the song feels as if Lewis is singing right at the top of her range and it’s painful to listen to. Though once that’s over with it’s her usual and familiar tones that are present. It does feel as if the bridge has had it’s melody nicked from Delierium’s Silence though.

Somehow we can’t help thinking that this should be going somewhere else, but it never seems to do that. Not doing anything for us, but no doubt after her performance on this weekend’s X-Factor (and we’re sure that it will be seeing it’s released at the weekend) it will be up in the top 10 somewhere

Rating: 3/5
