Well, look at Little Leona Lewis channeling her inner vamp on the cover of her upcoming sophomore album, Echo! Leona’s traded in the curly mane that has become her signature for a wet sleek look for the cover.

This is a different look for the British songbird, who brought the international charttopper “Bleeding Love.”

What do you think of the cover?

Echo debuts in the U.S. on Nov. 17.

We hear Leona Lewis has broken free from her squeaky clean image by getting her first tattoo.

The “Bleeding Love” hitmaker, who has gone on to international superstardom since winning Simon Cowell’s British TV talent show The X Factor in 2006, is showing off her wild side by having a tattoo inked on the inside of her left wrist in tribute to her longtime boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa.

“It’s incredibly private and something that we both had done. It’s Hebrew letters and I’m thrilled with it. I can’t reveal what it is. Some things need to remain private for me.”

Leona Lewis is afraid her new album will flop.

The British songstress gained millions of fans worldwide after her debut album Spirit topped the charts in 2007 with the help of her international hit single “Bleeding Love,” but Leona is convinced her upcoming LP Echo will “bomb” and she is working hard to afraid the sophomore jinx.

A source tells Britain’s Look Magazine: “Leona knows she’s going to have to work harder with Echo to equal, never mind better, the success of Spirit. She wouldn’t want to be a one-album wonder. She’s been heavily involved in the making of this album and there’s a detailed plan in place to make it a success.”

“Leona also knows she’s been in the US for a long time and she may have lost some of her UK fan base. There are plenty of reality TV stars who’ve been successful with their first album, but bombed with their second,” the source explained.

“The problem is that when Leona first appeared, there was no one else like her. But things are very different now. She has some serious competition and it’s preoccupying her entirely. It’s as if she can’t think of anything else.”

Echo, featuring the lead single “Happy,” is expected to debut later this year.

Leona Lewis released her the first single from her eagerly-awaited sophomore album, Echo, expected to hit shelves Nov. 17.

“Happy,” a power ballad, was co-written by Leona Lewis with writer/producer Ryan Tedder — who penned the X-Factor songbird’s 2008 breakout hit, “Bleeding Love.” The single hits radio September 21.

Rock It or Drop It?

Leona Lewis’ eagerly-awaited sophomore album, Echo, will debut Nov. 17.

Echo is the follow-up to Leona’s 2007 debut Spirit, which has now sold more than six million copies worldwide to date.

“She’s really going all out singing-wise on this one. It’s more guitar-driven from what I’ve heard, so more pop/alternative, far from urban,” one of the project’s contributors Novel recently told Rap-Up. “It’s gonna be a crazy album.”

The album believed to feature songwriting and production contributions from Ne-Yo, Ryan Tedder, and Xenomania.
