WOW! That's what I have to say about Leona Lewis', "Outta My Head" from her second album Echo. Outta My Head is just absolutely incredible and absolutely PERFECT dance-pop. I said she played it safe with Happy, which while pretty successful in the UK, still didn't perform that great in the US. And I don't know if Outta My Head would fair any better over here, but I think it has a better shot than Happy did. And I think it could be massive in the UK if released at the right time and with the proper promotion.Outta My Head is what they were looking for when Leona's label released Forgive Me as a pop song to show that Leona could do more than just sing a ballad. Had Outta My Head been released back then, she wouldn't have had to settle for a US flop and a UK #5. OMH would have been HUGE.
OMH starts out a pumpin, fast moving dance-pop song and never quits. Usually songs like this are mainly chorus driven (like Kylie's Like A Drug), but I think Outta My Head catches you in the main verses as well as the chorus. Leona hooks you into this song and never lets go. And if you've just gone through a break up - THIS is your ultimate, power break up song.
I was extremely disappointed when the second single from Echo was I Got You in the US. How stupid can A&R people be sometimes? This was as bad a choice as releasing All I See from Kylie's album X over here. HAPPY DIDN'T WORK. I Got You is just another rehashed version of the SAME thing. It's time to change it up. It's time for Outta My Head to be released - ASAP. I hope the rumors are true that Outta My Head is getting a UK release. I can't wait to see how it does.
OMG at OMH!!!!!! Download this song IMMEDIATELY!
