(August 13, 2015) – New York, NY – Leona Lewis debuted the music video for her new single “Thunder” off her forthcoming album
I AM today on Cosmopolitan.com.
I AM, Lewis’s fifth studio album and first on Def Jam Recordings, will be released September 11th
and is available now for preorder at all digital retailers. Pre-ordered
versions of the album will include 5 exclusive IG tracks: “Fire
Under My Feet,” “I Am,” “Thunder,” “Another Love Song,” and “Power.”
The video for “Thunder,” produced and
directed by Sarah McColgan (Miguel, Aloe Blacc, Luke James), was shot in
Los Angeles and embodies the song’s themes of navigating life’s highs
and lows and as Lewis says, “…falling but always
getting back up.” Watch the full video now at Cosmopolitan.com.
On the single “Thunder,” Lewis declares,
“I’m coming back with the thunder,” and there couldn’t be a more apropos
metaphor for her latest body of work. Co-produced by hitmaker Toby
Gad (credits: John Legend, One Direction, Beyoncé),
I AM also features a collaboration with iconic Academy Award®-nominee
and Grammy Award-winner Diane Warren. Lewis has shared with fans
that she looked within and bared her soul on the confessional and very
personal album which explores her own highs and lows over the past few
years.
Lewis returns to the global stage with her highly
anticipated new studio album as well as an inspiring message of
empowerment, an issue which is very close to the artist’s heart. In June
Lewis launched her own empowerment initiative – #IAMEMPOWERED
– which invites fans to share personal stories, quotes, pictures or
anything that they feel will inspire empowerment in others. This theme
of empowerment pervades
I AM, and Lewis’s ongoing initiative continues to engage and inspire fans worldwide.
