Speaking to the BBC , Leona Lewis went on to disclose that her reasons for quitting Syco were primarily down to things moving too slowly.
Of course Simon [Cowell] being involved — there was a lot of decisions that had to go through him. So things got very delayed because he's a very busy person and taking control of things myself, things have got done a lot quicker," the singer said.
Despite Lewis' decision to leave the music label, she insists there are no hard feelings between herself and the former "X Factor" judge. Leona has turned her focus to acting as much as music since her appearance on The X Factor. And in June of the same year she parted ways with Island records before releasing charity single Looking for Home with Dianne Warren for the Vanderpump's Dog Foundation's public service announcement against the Yulin Dog Meat Festival.
And the following year she teamed up with Calum Scott to release a version of You Are the Reason - the song peaked at number 43 in the UK charts. Leona hasn't released a studio album since I Am in , which reached the top 40 internationally including in the US, Spain and Germany as well as the UK.
Leona Lewis officially tied the knot to her long-term partner Dennis Jauch in August She wed the year-old US choreographer in front of family members and pals including Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan and The Voice winner Jermain Jackman , who sang at the ceremony. It was so special to be able to bring together everyone we love. After winning the singing contest Leona enjoyed a rapid rise to the top of the music charts in the UK and internationally.
A Brit School graduate, Leona's debut single Bleeding Love, released in , spent seven weeks at number one. Her debut album Spirit went 10x platinum in the UK. The year-old released three more albums whilst signed to Simon Cowell's label but says the structure of the company meant that process became more difficult. Of course Simon [Cowell] being involved - there was a lot of decisions that had to go through him. Her first single Fire Under My Feet is available to buy this week.
The music video for the track features a female para-athlete, an albino dancer and a drag queen. Leona said: "The song is all about overcoming adversity and obstacles that might be in your way.
