Leona Lewis Recruits Hurts, Jessie J To Write New Album

November 22, 2010
Leona Lewis Recruits Hurts, Jessie J To Write New AlbumLeona Lewis has lined-up a star-studded list of names to help write her new album.

The former X Factor winner, who has gone on to launch a successful solo career, has asked Hurts singer Theo Hutchcraft and new act Jessie J about the record.

Hutchcraft told The Sun: "Leona wants us to write for her. She has an incredible voice and is not bad looking either - so I'd definitely be up for it."

Jessie J, whose debut album is released next year, has previously written for Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus.

Lewis’s last studio album ‘Echo’ was released in 2009.
