British singer Leona Lewis has revealed that her fifth studio album will come out in September and fans can hear her being "very real".
The 'Fire Under My Feet' singer has said her album was inspired by her previous recording contract with Simon Cowell's label, Syco, reported Washington Post.
"I think the song with the most revealing lyrics on the album is 'Thunder'. The story behind 'Thunder' definitely has references to my experience with Syco and Simon, and the whole situation I was involved in before. Every lyric is so honest. It's literally very raw, very real. Some of the lyrics did come from a place of frustration because I didn't really know what I was doing for such a long time." She said.
The 30-year-old musician said she is thrilled with the as-yet untitled LP because it has allowed her to express who she is.
"The album is all about empowerment, self-empowerment, building yourself up and not letting people say what you can and can't do.
