"One More Sleep"
by Leona Lewis



This is a song I discovered this year, courtesy of Spotify. I had no idea that Leona Lewis even had a Christmas album and, while I don't necessarily think that this is necessarily a straight-up Christmas classic, she has a great voice and I think the cadence of the first verse in particular is really entertaining. I really love her song "Bleeding Love" but, being mostly a one-hit wonder, I haven't really followed her career and didn't realize that she had released several albums, including the Christmas one that this song is featured on. To me, it sounds a little similar to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas (Is You)," or at least shares a lot of the same catchy pop elements.

A couple of fun facts that I learned about Leona Lewis while researching this song:

1. Her breakout came as a result of winning the third series of THE X FACTOR in 2006.

2. Her biggest hit ("Bleeding Love") was co-written by Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic) and Jesse McCartney.

3. She and Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers were jointly named PETA's Sexiest Vegetarians of 2008.
