New Music Tuesday: April 8, 2008

Leona Lewis is a Brit who hit it big on an American Idol like show in her home country called The X Factor. She took the top prize in the show's third season and won a world-wide launch for her debut album, Spirit. Her R&B tinged pop style has already put her album at number two on iTunes album chart. As a sidenote, Simon Cowell is credited as The X Factor's creator/producer/judge.

Rapper Ray J releases his fourth album, All I Feel, and continues to underwhelm. You might know him as R&B singer Brandy's younger brother. However, if you're a net junkie then you probably know him better for his co-starring role in the Kim Kardashian sex tape. I know him as Brandy's younger brother...
