Leona Lewis defends her delay of album
21 October 2007, 2:44PM
Leona Lewis, winner of last year's The X Factor has insisted that not rushing her album was the right thing to do.
Leona spent half a year recording the album with top producers in Los Angeles but got some criticism for being away from the spotlight.
Leona told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "I knew everyone was saying, 'Where's Leona gone? She's just another reality TV show singer who's disappeared', and it was worrying that some people were writing me off already. But it was necessary to take that time to make the album because we all wanted to get it right. I've always wanted to be a singer and now that I've been given this opportunity, I want longevity in this industry. Taking time over the album was fundamental to my development as an artist."
Leona's new single, 'Bleeding Love' is out tomorrow.
