Leona Lewis' New Song Will Empower You
This is not a drill: Leona Lewis' new single, "Thunder," will make you feel like you can take on the world. I'm serious! The uplifting track is the second official offering (the first being "Fire Under My Feet") from the "Bleeding Love" hit-maker's forthcoming new album, I Am (due out Sept. 11), and you don't want to miss it. Thematically, Leona Lewis' "Thunder" lyrics actually have quite a bit in common with the "Fire Under My Feet" lyrics: both songs describe the joy that comes from finally breaking free from something (or someone) that's holding you back. Hmm...
Interestingly enough, Lewis left her longtime record label, Syco, in June 2014. Soon after, she signed a new deal with Island Records. Coincidence? I think not. (But, of course, I'm just speculating.)
On "Thunder's" opening verse and pre-chorus, Lewis sings:
First it was heaven
Everything was roses and fire
You and I were golden
Now it's armageddon
And I woke up like a fighter
Putting up a legion
You were rising like a star
Reigning like a king
While I was waiting in the wings
Her gorgeous voice shines on the tune's soaring chorus:
But I won't wait any longer
When you left me down, I got stronger
If you want to wait for lightning
I'm on the horizon
But I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
An iTunes release date for "Thunder" has not yet been announced. (In the meantime, you can enjoy the song on the singer's official YouTube channel above.) I don't know about you, but I can't wait to hear more new music from Lewis.
