Lewis(born 3 April 1985) is a British singer, songwriter, actress, model and
activist. She was born and raised in the London Borough of Islington, and she
attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon. Lewis achieved
national recognition when she won the third series of The X Factor in 2006,
winning a £1 million
recording contract with Syco Music. Her
winner's single, a cover of Kelly Clarkson's "A
Moment Like This", peaked at number one for four weeks on the UK Singles Chart and broke a world record by reaching 50,000 digital downloads within
30 minutes. In February 2007, Lewis signed a five-album contract in the United
States with Clive Davis's record
label, J Records.
Lewis's success continued with the release of her debut studio album, Spirit (2007), which was certified 10×
platinum in the UK and became the fourth best-selling album of the
2000s and one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. According
to the Official
Charts Company, Spirit is the best-selling debut album
by a female artist in the 21st century. The lead single, "Bleeding Love",
spent seven weeks at number one in the UK and was the best-selling single of 2007. In the
US, it was the best-selling single of 2008 and Lewis was proclaimed Best New
Artist by Billboard the same year. In 2009, she released her second studio album, Echo, and
recorded the theme song, "I See You", for the
film Avatar.
In 2011, Lewis released the single "Collide", a
collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii, and her debut extended play, Hurt: The EP. Her third
studio album, Glassheart(2012),
marked a new creative direction for Lewis, drawing inspiration from dubstep and electronic music. She began
to record material for her first Christmas album during her Glassheart Tour, which
took place in mid 2013. Christmas,
with Love was released later that year and its lead single,
"One More Sleep",
peaked at number three in the UK. With this chart entry, Lewis became the first
British female solo artist to reach the top five with eight singles, surpassing
Olivia
Newton-John's record of seven.
In 2014, she made her film debut in Walking on Sunshine, and her
fourth studio album, I Am, was released
the following year. In 2016, Lewis made her Broadway debut as Grizabella in the revival of Andrew
Lloyd Webber's musical Cats, and the
following year, she signed a modelling contract with Wilhelmina Models. She then
collaborated with Calum Scott on the single "You Are The Reason" (2018),
and had a recurring role on the American television series The Oath(2019). In 2021,
Lewis joined the Paramount Plus show Queen of The Universe as a judge.
According to her record company, as of 2021, Lewis has sold over 35
million records worldwide. She has won two MOBO Awards, an MTV
Europe Music Award, and two World
Music Awards. She is also a six-time BRIT Award and three-time Grammy Award nominee.

in the US to date and remains her signature

Closed off from love,
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it, you're frozen, ooh
But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy, oh
But I don't care what
they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Oh yeah
Trying hard not to
hear, but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that their goal is to keep me from falling, hey, oh
But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness, I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe
But I don't care what
they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all
of me
Though they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see
I don't care what
they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep,
keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love.
