Washington, Apr 13 : Pop star Leona Lewis has reportedly signed super-producers Xenomania to work on her forthcoming album.

Xenomania, who are behind the success of chart-topping hits songs by Girls Aloud and Gabriella Cilmi, are working on five tracks for Leona's second studio album.

The much-awaited album is expected to be released later this year.

Though the producers are known for their different style, they will not alter Leona's style of singing instead will merge their own beats with it.

"We are not going to change Leona''s style but it''s interesting for us to do something downbeat - tragic songs with a twist," Contactmusic quoted songwriter Miranda Cooper as telling The Daily Star. (ANI)
