Leona Lewis is set to delve into dance music on her second album, it has been reported.

The multi-million selling X Factor winner is keen to change direction with super producer Timbaland at the helm.

A 'source' tells the Daily Mirror: "Timbaland can't wait to work with Leona and make her feisty like Beyonce and Rihanna.

"The ballads will still be there but the tracks will be racier and there'll be dancefloor anthems too."

Timbaland – real name Timothy Mosely – has worked an array of artists including Justin Timberlake, Bjork, Aaliyah, Pussycat Dolls, 50 Cent, Flo Rida and Missy Elliott.
