Today Leona wrote new blog where she speaks about all stuff she's been through in last 2 years with SYCO and after she left them (now she's signed with Island Records)

Time to take things into my own hands
I’d been waiting for so long to be told what the next step is in my career. Being lead by my previous label in every way. Last year I realized that’s not the way to make meaningful creations. You cant put a date on inspiration, you don’t know when and where it will come from, it’s just something you feel. Little did I know, this would spark something inside me that would be the start of my next record.

I remember the day I went in to go sit with Toby (Gad) and just listen to music and get inspired. I had been on a promotional tour and was ready to start getting into where I wanted to go next. I called my a&r at the label, and harassed them non stop but was met with no support and told to wait for Simon to call me. I was frustrated and hurt that I was left to just float in the sea until they felt like it was time to pluck me out and become interested again.
I sat in the studio and toby began playing this music that was so uplifting it captivated me into writting and recording our first song in about two hours. I was so happy, fulfulled and empowered. It didn’t take someone at my label to tell me when I’m allowed to be creative or express myself.

This ignited the path and I’ve since spent a lot of time in the studio writting about the feelings I’ve felt the past couple of years. The battles, the struggles, the highs and the lows. The only way I’ve made it through with any sanity is to write about it and get it out.
Right now I’m in London, recording with some of my favorites including Biff and Ash whom I adore! Toby is here with me, and we are on a mission. My heart is full and I’m fired up.
