Leona in awe of JustinLeona Lewis claimed to have been in awe of Justin Timberlake

Well, Leona's only human - is there any girl who wouldn't melt a little
at the prospect of working with Justin Timberlake? The X Factor winner
has confessed that she was initially concerned that Trousersnake's hot
looks would distract her when the pair teamed up to record a track.

Speaking to the Daily Star, the Londoner said:

"He is so cool, such a nice guy, and I think we have a lot in common as we are both quite focused people.

"He is a beautiful boy and I was a bit worried about whether it would
cloud my judgment over whether the song was good or not. But as soon as
I met him that was over."

Speaking about the album in general, she added:

"I wanted it to represent where I am now. I also want it to still
represent me in 20 years’ time when people are hopefully still
listening to the album.

"I’m inspired by old stuff like Annie Lennox, so I was after an organic sound with strings and guitars to test myself.

"I wrote on most of the songs so it really feels like me. I’m really proud of it."

Echo is out next Monday. Our money is on a number one.
