From the moment UK soul singer Leona Lewis stepped in front of TV talent show cameras in 2006, her star status shined bright. Her debut release, “A Moment Like This”, broke download records while her rich, breathy, four-octave vocal range—and hooky jams like “Bleeding Love”—ensured that her debut album, Spirit, topped both the British and American charts. But Lewis' shiver-inducing mastery of ballads is her calling card, securing her place as a soul diva you can file next to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
