"I don't bleed love anymore, I bleed AMAZING DANCE TUNES" |
Leona Lewis has done a PROPER DANCE SONG and it works terrifyingly well. It is called 'Collide' and it has a sort of classic-but-completely-new vibe to it. There are no insane frills (Gaga) or overblown singing runs for no reason (Xtina). It's just a brilliant tune through and through that doesn't pull any punches or pretend it's something it's not. There's an almost tribal backing vocal sound that gives the track an organic, warm vibe, and the production is smooth but not overwraught. It's essentially what an UNPRETENTIOUS POP DIVA SMASH should sound like and in short it is AMAZING.
Leona's one of those people we didn't really realize we missed, but goddamn, Miss Lewis. Welcome the f back.
