The Secret Leona Files

I got to thinking: Leona is signed to a big record label - surely they have some kind of firewall? They probably even employ experts to make secret attempts at hacking in to their own system to test their security. So how is it that these secret Leona tracks got out?

No-one could stand to gain financially from stealing them. If they tried to sell them commercially they couldn't keep their identity a secret for long.
A posse of investigators and lawyers would soon track them down in their secret lair and use the full force of law to get them to pay unto Leona what is rightfully Leona's (and Leona's management's, of course)

Secret Leona publicity machine?

My guess is that it's actually a ploy to get secret Leona talked about in the press. That's PR for you. Why pay for advertising and publicity when you can just hatch a story in secret and put it out there for the tabloids to pick up on.

If it was a secret ploy, it certainly worked. Type Leona Lewis tracks leaked into Google and you'll get 62,700 results. That's a lot of people writing and blogging about Leona's Secret and Secret Leona Lewis.

Leona ...
... upset at secret leak

Depending on what you read, Leona was either devastated or very upset about her secret recordings getting out. They were, allegedly, unfinished - so maybe that's what she's upset about. Alternatively, Leona may have been upset at her record company's lack of security. What will someone steal next? Maybe it will be Leona's secret schedule? Or, more lucratively, the details and password to Leona's secret Swiss bank account (She must have earned enough to have one by now).

Still, it could have been worse. If someone had found a secret Leona sex tape (not that I'm alleging there is one) or, worse still, secret recordings of Leona singing a selection of easy listening tunes, her reputation could have been ruined.

Is Leona secretly pleased?

As it is, Leona may well be secretly pleased that the tracks were leaked.
She can sleep soundly in her secret celebrity hideaway as, according to her fans, the songs are pretty good. Leona has apparently been bombarded with messages saying We love you Leona and we love your secret new songs too. Unlike the soulful ballads on her first album, these songs are apparently more up tempo, R&B numbers (I haven't heard them yet).
So Leona's secret is out - she's really a diva you can dance to.

What are secret Leona tracks from?

You may have heard rumours hear that some secret Leona tracks have been, or soon will be released over here. The leaked Leona tracks may well be from this album. As I said, I'm not a massive Leona fan - I'm more of a fan of secret conspiracy theories and investigating the machinations of the big record companies' marketing campaigns. But I do like her and she has got an amazing voice. I have found this site, SecretLeona.com which has an album on it called Best Kept Secret, so nothing too suspicious there. There's a TV ad with a short clip of the sound and it's pretty good, so maybe I'm just being too paranoid.
