It's a toss between two worthy singles this month. Both singles are equally catchy and coincidentally the singers are both winners - Shayne Ward (Season 2) & Leona Lewis (Season 3) of the British television music talent show "The X Factor".
Taken off from the debut album "Spirit", you'll be immediately hooked with the lead off single "Bleeding Love", which showcases Leona's impressive vocal prowess. Emotionally fuelled, and extremely upbeat, "Bleeding Love" has already topped the UK singles chart and is the biggest selling UK single of 2007 so far. With violins, organ, and the marching band drum beat, the mid-tempo song is sure to be a hit also when "Spirit" is eventually released in the US in Jan 2008.
While Leona Lewis' debut single/album is already a hit, Shayne Ward has much more to prove with his follow-up album. Proving that he is no one-hit wonder with "No Promises" only, Shayne's fourth single, and the first song taken from his second album "Breathless", "If That's OK With You" is anything but forgettable. Featuring guest vocals from the chipmunks, somewhat like Akon's "Lonely", the song highest position on the UK Singles Chart is #2. In fact, I feel that the song is so easy on the ears that you''ll definitely be tapping your feet along to the tune in no time at all!
