Leona Lewis — “Colorblind” (from Hurt: The EP) — Colorblind - Hurt: The EP

Hot on the heels of her brilliantly electrifying reinvention of Snow Patrol’s “Run,” which she transformed from an unassuming indie-pop piffle into a brash, crashing power ballad, Lewis turns her attention to this unheralded Counting Crows classic, lightening the mood just enough to matter, and digging beneath the trademark angst and agita to unearth a moving, pristinely potent melody and message.
