During her appearance on BBC Breakfast, Leona spoke about the process of creating her new album and how she dealt with splitting from Simon Cowell's label Syco.

Describing the experience as 'liberating and empowering', she said: 'It's definitely been a process writing this album'.

'I feel like the step away and kind of creating the album by myself really, at first - independently, was quite liberating and empowering, and so that is definitely a theme throughout the album.'

Explaining her decision to depart from Syco, she asserted: 'The thing is I had been with Simon's label for seven years so it kind of was naturally coming to the end.

'It's all amicable and he's great and has been so supportive but it was just time to move on really.'

Lewis continued: 'It was a hard decision because obviously being somewhere for such a long time building relationships, I loved the people I was working with, I had a great team around me, I loved working with Simon, so it was a hard decision but it was just time for me to do something different.'
