Apparently her label though we needed more of the slower, softer side to Leona to really embrace her and to understand her vocal talent. That's something I think was true in the nineties, but I don't think it matters so much anymore. Some of the most popular artists today (whether or not they'll have staying power) were made so with a hip-hop flavored dance track. Actual range and register often come second to gimmick and trend. But I think Leona in general is a throwback to material you'd hear in the nineties... and I hope she leads the revolution to take music back to a purer place.
