AceShowbiz - Leona Lewis is still spawning singles from the huge-selling debut album "Spirit" and the latest one she pulls is "I Will Be" which music video has just received a world premiere. This would be the music video where "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford makes a cameo as her lover.
Chace who has several speaking lines in the video, agreed to appear in the music video after meeting the singer in a London party. They claimed to become "fast friends" and Leona personally invited him to be in the video. It was shot back in mid December 2008 in NYC with director Melina Matsoukas, who also directed the international version of "Bleeding Love". Leona plays a criminal who gets arrested by an NYPD officer, played by Cedric Darius.
"I Will Be" is Leona Lewis' cover for Avril Lavigne's 2006 ballad of the same title. It serves as the third U.S. single lifted from Leona's debut album "Spirit".
