" When Leona Lewis returned to music in 2012, there was a noticeable change in her attitude. Gone was the doe-eyed Hackney girl, who could summon bunnies and birds with her Disney Princess falsetto and in came the darker, more profound side to X Factor&amp;#039;s voice of an angel. If lead single &amp;#039;Trouble&amp;#039; told us anything it&amp;#039;s that she&amp;#039;s back cantillating her woes of heartbreak once again; and she&amp;#039;s nowhere as innocent as we all first thought. We all know by now that Leona&amp;#039;s biggest asset is her ability to melt-hearts over a string-led ballad, but on her third album Glassheart it&amp;#039;s the pacey numbers full of angst and torment that standout. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t mind the pain,&amp;quot; she confesses on &amp;#039;Come Alive&amp;#039; over rumbling synths and breakbeats, while she purposefully goads her ex on &amp;#039;Shake You Up&amp;#039;; a slice of strutting &amp;#039;80s handbag pop that features a welcome return of the xylophone to the charts. What&amp;#039;s more, the ironic wedding bells riff on reggae-tinged &amp;#039;Favourite Scar&amp;#039; underlies the diva confessing her love in a messed up relationship, while hard-hitting dubstep drops grate against Leona&amp;#039;s fear that her beau is about to break her heart on the title track (&amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re about to tear this love apart.&amp;quot;) Even the ethereal vibe of &amp;#039;Fireflies&amp;#039;, which is both uplifting and goosebump-inducing, hears the star lamenting over life&amp;#039;s wonders. Unsurprisingly, some of Leona&amp;#039;s finest moments on the record are in the more sombre warblers. &amp;#039;Un Love Me&amp;#039; is flecked with delicate piano and big vocals, while &amp;#039;Fingerprint&amp;#039; is an understated, heart-tingling ballad, which allows her world-famous falsetto let loose to tell all about an irreplaceable loved-one. Like many artists before her, Leona has channelled the darker side of love&amp;#039;s grasp into her work - and the result is nothing short of spectacular.
