Leona Lewis Wants to duet with Coldplay
Leona Lewis is looking to duet with Coldplay on her sophomore album, according to Times Now out of India. Lewis wants the follow-up to her breakthrough album, Spirit, to have more of a rock feel. Her latest number one single is a cover of Snow Patrol’s “Run.”
It is likely Chris Martin would be interested as well in the project. Martin told London’s The Daily Mirror, “Leona is phenomenal. She is world class, that girl. We saw her singing in L.A. - she’s as good as anybody and I’ve got nothing but respect for her.”
Coldplay and Lewis are in the same music-god categories. Both artists have been nominated for multiple Grammies. They both also topped the iTunes bestseller list in America for 2008. Lewis’ debut song, “Bleeding Love” sold the most copies just ahead of Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida.”
Martin also admitted his adoration for Girls Aloud. Martin said, “Girls Aloud are my favourite girls in the world, aside from my wife and daughter, of course!” Hmm… who would have ever guessed Martin had such a love for cheesy pop music?
