Leona Hits America

It's official. Leona Lewis, whose album Spirit sold almost 400K copies in the UK alone this week (beating the Spice Girls and Celine), will be released in America March 18, 2008. Clive Davis probably wanted to see how well the album performed overseas first before committing to a stateside release date. Then again, I guess I our friend Xavier could ask Clive directly. I'm sure Leona's career would make interesting table talk after the fourth course at one of Clive's dinner parties.
