Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s not often a former Pizza Hut waitress gets to perform on TV (X Factor) then makes a debut album (Spirit) that outsells the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits compilation two to one. But while the career of Leona Lewis has been an undeniably successful experiment in âdemocratic’ pop, most critics have patiently awaited her sophomore effort before deciding if the singer has what it takes to move beyond a “one album wonder” phenomenon. Simon Cowell and Clive David have subsequently thrown all their weight behind Echo, bringing in a prodigious team of producers that includes Ryan Tedder, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Rudolf, and 90s hit-maker Max Martin. Strangely, this hasn’t yielded much in the way of diversity. With a couple of exceptions – the surprisingly upbeat electro song “Outta My Head” for example - Echo plays it safe with a mix of slowies (“Can’t Breathe”, “My Hands”), plenty of power ballads (the single “Happy,” “I Got You,” “Broken,” and Timberlake duet “Don’t Let Me Down”) - and a bit of bouncier saccharine pop such as “Love Letter” and “Naked”. There’s no question that some of these songs are good, and that Lewis’ vocal talents are impressive. But ultimately the unadventurous arrangements and lack of risk-taking in general renders Echo merely a capable instead of a truly dynamic record. The jury, it seems, is still out.--Danny McKenna

 Better Than Spirt July 30, 2010
Joe
I have both of her albums however even though her first album has the global success which was 'Bleeding Love' on it I found I enjoyed this much better. Every single track I loved with her powerful voice bursting through each song. There is a mixture of songs here ranging from the dancy track 'Outta My Head' to the very moving 'Broken'. Her best work so far and I'm waiting eagerly for her next album. OVERALL, FANTASTIC!!!! :-D

Leona Lewis has one of most Beautiful Voices in Music, She is Britains Mariah Carey. All songs are great and each one is very different from her "Spirit Album" but the songs that I love are: Happy, I Got You, Brave, Stop crying you heart out, Lost then found. They are all fantastic songs.
If you are a Leona Lewis Fan.
It grows on you! May 1, 2010

When I first heard the CD I was a bit disappointed as I had immediately loved Spirit but found myself flicking through tracks of this. However after a few times have found that it really grew on me, I like the variety and Leona's voice just seems to get better and better. I particularly love Happy, Broken and Naked. Only track I cant stand is Outta my head, reminiscent of a Stock, Aitken and Waterman 'classic'!
Better than the first! April 8, 2010

I loved Leona's debut album, Spirit, so went out and bought this one immediatly. And I have to say, I was impressed. So much so, I will even go to say it is a million times better than her first! Leona's definitely developed more as an artist in this album, taking more risks with her song choices, and even her voice has definitely matured as well. She had a lot more imput in the making of this album, co-writing the majority of the songs, which is nice to see. If I had one complaint, it would be that she needs a few more up tempo songs, she had Forgive Me on her last album and Outta my Head on this one; and she's pretty good at them! Hopefully next time she'll include more of a range.
1. Happy: 9/10 - Definitely the right choice for the lead single; catchy with clever lyrics
2. I Got You: 7/10 - Loved it the first few times, but can get slightly boring after a while. If I'm honest, not the best choice for a follow up single; there's far better on the album
3. Can't Breathe: 7/10 - Catchy but slightly repetitive.
4. Brave: 10/10 - Very clever lyrics, nice idea for a song. Definitely one of the best on the album
5. Outta My Head: 10/10 - Catchy, up beat song. Love it!
6. My Hands: 10/10 - My personal favourite. Brilliant lyrics, different and catchy. You'll be singing along in no time!
7. Love Letter: 8/10 - Good song, good lyrics.
8. Broken: 10/10 - Very dramatic with good heartfelt lyrics. Brilliant and one of the best!
9. Naked: 10/10 - Lovely song, again, very dramatic
10. Stop Crying Your Heart Out: 7/10 - A bit boring at first, but gets better at the end. Better than the original
11. Don't Let Me Down: 6/10 - My least favourite track. Still good, but quite slow with not much dramatic impact. A bit boring
12. Alive: 8/10 - Very dramatic with lovely lyrics
13. Lost and Found: 9/10 - Lovely song with soft vocals...keep listening for a bonus track!
Really enjoying this! March 30, 2010

I am really enjoying this album. I do not think that there is as much "filler" as the first album. I have been listening to it mainly in the car and I am singing along after a few listens and not skipping much!
