The 'Bleeding Love' singer wants to hit the road for her first ever solo tour as soon as she finishes recording her second album in Los Angeles.
She said: "I'll be touring in 2010 and through to the year after. I just can't wait."
Leona - who shot to fame after winning UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' - is really excited about her upcoming LP, the follow-up to her hit 2007 debut 'Spirit'.
The album is rumoured to be packed with several star guests, including Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and super-producer Timbaland, and Leona insists fans will be surprised by her new sound.
The 24-year-old star told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "I've recorded about 20 songs so far. I'd say it was about halfway there. I've been flying back and forth to Los Angeles to record it.
"The music has a different feel this time. It's more of a live, heavier sound with a lot of real instruments. It's something I'll be able to perform live."
Jordin Sparks - a former winner of talent show 'American Idol' - recently revealed she is keen to collaborate with Leona.
She previously said: "I want to work with Leona Lewis. I love her, she's so sweet! I'd love to do a nice powerful female duet with her. I think our voices would blend together really well."
