Music : Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

Producer(s): Ryan "Alias" Tedder
Label: Syco/J

Perhaps it seems premature to crown 2008's best new artist, but Leona Lewis arrives on U.S. shores with plenty of jewels in her tiara. In November, debut disc "Spirit" debuted at No. 1 in the United Kingdom—selling the equivalent of 200 albums per minute on release day—and has since become the fastest-selling debut of all time, while launch single "Bleeding Love" topped the singles chart for four weeks.

It's tough to fathom that so many melody-free gimmick jams continue to junk up the stateside airwaves, but Lewis' bow is not only a one-listen harmonic show-stopper, it is also hip, soulful, beat-rippling and an undeniable vocal tour de force.

And that's all before adding the visual: Lewis is simply stunning. Not since a youngster named Whitney Houston arrived has Clive Davis had so much to work with. The gorgeous "Spirit"—A&R'd at home by Simon Cowell—arrives March 18 in the United States. By then, "Leona" should be working its way to household-name status. A colossal and timeless debut. —Chuck Taylor

Bleeding Love lyrics

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say

I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
