Leona Lewis to team up with Robbie Williams to record two tracks - and Kings of Leon
We always knew Leona Lewis was the hottest property around – and now it looks like Robbie Williams thinks She’s The One too...
The X Factor winner is teaming up with the Robster in the studio next week to record two tracks.
They are for a mooted re-release of Echo later this year, following the box office success of Avatar – which featured Leona’s dulcet tones.
And her mentor Simon Cowell – desperate to get Robbie in as a fifth X Factor judge – has even suggested the Angels star join Leona on stage for two dates on her arena tour this summer.
But as if that wasn’t enough, Leona has also been in touch with Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill about a one-off track. We’re told: “Leona is incredibly proactive. She knows exactly what she wants and where she's heading and is thrilled with these developments.

“She loves Robbie and thinks he’s a real laugh – and the love-in is mutual. They're just going to go in the studio and see what comes out.
“The track will coincide with her arena tour, with the possibility that Robbie could appear on stage.
“Simon is really keen on the idea and hopes it will help Robbie come on board with the X factor.
“The Kings of Leon collaboration came about through Leona herself. Caleb and the guys are huge fans.”
He needs to give her a song like Millenium or Angels. Her albums NEEDS some re-working as well. Add the Ne-Yo cuts and take off the choir effect on most of the songs.
