Leona Lewis schedules release date for new album “I Am”

Leona Lewis has scheduled the release date for her upcoming fifth album.

The British singer and songwriter will release “I Am” on September 11 via iTunes in partnership with Island Records (UK) and Def Jam Recordings (US).

Lead single “Fire Under My Feet” was co-written and produced by Toby Gad, whose other credits include Madonna’s “Living for Love” [Interscope], Beyonce’s “If I Were a Boy” [Columbia] and Demi Lovato’s “Skyscraper” [Hollywood].

“I Am” serves as the follow-up 2013’s “Christmas, with Love,” which was released under Simon Cowell’s label Syco Music. That collection peaked to number thirteen on the UK Albums Chart and spawned hit single “One More Sleep.”

Other producers backing Lewis on “I Am” are Jim Eliot (Olly Murs, Kylie Minogue), Autumn Rowe (Zendaya, Alexandra Burke), Wayne Wilkins (Cheryl, Natasha Bedingfield) and TMS (Sinead Harnett, Emeli Sande).
