We've got the first clips for you to listen to below - and later this week we're getting Leon in for a chat about what he's been up to... so if you've got any burning questions please leave them in the comments box below and we'll ask as many as we can.
Leon, 19, will perform Don't Call This Love - the first single from the album - on the first live studio show of this year's X Factor on Saturday October 11th.
He said: "Don't Call This Love is my favourite song on the album. I love the fact it has a really individual sound. It's about someone who's been hurt and they don't want to be deceived anymore, so they're saying to their partner "don't you dare call this love". It's a really charismatic song".
Leon's first single When You Believe was the fastest-selling of 2007 as it raced to the top of the Christmas charts'
He has spent the past six months recording with Steve Robson (Take That, James Morrison) and Peter Gordeno (Seal) to create a collection of songs drawing influences from the worlds of both pop and jazz.
Right Now will be released on October 20.
Leon is rightly proud of the album: "The music is really a mixture of modern jazz with singer-songwriter elements. A lot of it is really soulful. When I was recording I drew on all the musical influences that I like from James Morrisson to Amy Winehouse to Duffy and Michael Buble, but it's really my own sound".
Don't Call This Love is being released for download at midnight on Saturday October 11th. The single will hit record shops on Otober 13.

Leon you are such a star. Some people don't recognise it yet, but they will.
Your album is so classy and stylish. Your vocals are out of this world and you have picked such stunning songs. A lot of people would die to have produced an album full of beautiful songs with such amazing quality singing.
You are so gifted and I look forward to buying your albums for a long time to come. Can't wait for the next one.

Hi Leon,
Just a wee question for you...
Is there any one song on your album that you can relate to personally, and why?
Good luck with everything, you're amazing. I'm very proud of you.
Lots of love always,

Q: Are you going to get to appear on American Idol to perform the way Leona Lewis was able to do last year? This was a great way for her to get some exposure in the USA, and I KNOW you'd do great over here. You are so wonderful!
By Alana from USA. Posted October 7 2008 at 12:49 AM.

Hey Leon. Just wanna say well done. The songs are amazing and I can't wait to hear the rest. You've done yourself and everyone else proud. Can't wait to get your album through the post.
Question: You were at a Rangers game on Boxing Day. Do you plan on going to any more games in the future? and who is your favourite player?
Good Luck with the album.

Any idea when we will get to see the video for Dont Call This Love?
By terri. Posted October 5 2008 at 8:55 PM.
I just love 'Stargazing.' This album really is beautiful, Leon. Well worth the wait. I still love you!
By Emily. Posted October 5 2008 at 8:24 PM.
Hey Leon!
Totally blown away by the clips i've heard and cannot wait to go out and finally have a copy of your album!
Stargazing is a beautiful song! <3 Don't Call This Love too!
Great to have you back! xxx
By Heather. Posted October 5 2008 at 8:19 PM.
Hey Leon :)
I just want to say I think you are fantastic, im so glad you won the x factor so you could live your dream. I love your new tracks especially 'dont call this love', I will definitely be buying the album :D. The question I wanted to ask you is what is your favourite thing you have bought since winning the x factor?
Love Beck xx
By Rebecca. Posted October 5 2008 at 5:31 PM.
These tracks are amazing. Leon, you're a complete star, and I on behalf of everyone at LJM, wish you all the best.
We're all here and we'll always love you.
This is bound to do extreamly well, and in my opinion you are the best winner of x-factor and you've had a huge impact on so many people's lives, you're the best Leon.
By Lisa. Posted October 5 2008 at 3:49 PM.
Hey Leon!
I just have to say your amazing and I totally love you! :)
Anyway, my question is-Is life so much better for you and your mum now you have changed your life and become so successful, is it eveything you wanted it to be?
Thank You Leon, hope you get to answer!
Lots Of Love, Cerys

By Cerys Edwards. Posted October 5 2008 at 3:20 PM.
Ace leon! love the song 'misty blue' well done!!
By Jess. Posted October 5 2008 at 3:25 PM.
Well done, Leon! I love these new tracks of yours. They are beautifully sung and I can't wait to buy your single and album.
When do you think you will be touring in the UK?
Just curious - how many marriage proposals have you had since you won the X Factor?
By Christi. Posted October 5 2008 at 1:55 PM.
I agree the Jazz route was best for him! lets hopr this album does well...micheal buble meets jamie cullum- good for his audience.
By sE. Posted October 5 2008 at 1:13 PM.
Wow !! "Creative"---Michael Buble-esque or what. Fingers up to those who thought you were not worthy of winning X-Factor. The 4 choons so far are very, very good with a stunner in "Misty Blue". Now go for the top spot.
By Big Al. Posted October 5 2008 at 12:23 PM.
I am Loving the new album , Heard quite a few songs and i have a few favourites , I quite like Caledonia it reminds me of well you and Scotland (I am from Scotland) .
Erm... Question
What do you miss most about Scotland?
PS. Scotland is behind you 100% and were going to make you number 1 !
By Melissa. Posted October 5 2008 at 12:18 PM.
Stunning, absolutely stunning!!
I'm conpletely blown away with all I've heard so far. This long awaited album has 'classic' written all over it! Outstanding vocals, showcasing the gorgeous, rich tone we've come to know and love.
The newest clip - Misty Blue - literally had me in tears and gave me goosebumps. Breathtakingly gorgeous!
Youve certainly done yourself, and your fans proud - can't wait to hear it all in full. Roll on the 20th!!
Congratulations Leon. Way to go!!
By Heather. Posted October 5 2008 at 12:08 PM.
i really liked the album i think its great !! welcome back xxxx
By kelly. Posted October 5 2008 at 11:56 AM.
hey Leon comin from livinston just want u to no how proud wee r of u nd will u b touring is scotland soon,ur album sounds amazin especially Misty Blue the vocals just blew me away,gd luck with the single and album.x
By helen hurnn. Posted October 5 2008 at 10:56 AM.
Hey Leon, i'd really like to see you live again after seeing you at The X Factor tour this year. Is there any chance that your going to be touring the UK, possibly in brighton?!
Don't call this love is AMAZING and i can't wait for you album Right Now to come out :D
All the best for the future.
Love you xxx
By emily. Posted October 5 2008 at 9:46 AM.
I really, really like the songs I've heard from Leon's album so far. I'm so glad he's back and that time has been taken to record quality songs, not a rushed album full of covers.
'Right Now' is certain to do really well in the charts. Leon's new single has already won over a lot of doubters, so things are looking good for Mr Jackson!
Good luck to him. He deserves to do well.
By Isabel. Posted October 5 2008 at 3:34 AM.
Fantastic Leon can not wait for the album it sounds brilliant.
Just 2 questions did you have a giggle to yourself during boot camp this year when you found Lost was on the song list?
Did you get to keep the gorgeous Green jacket from when you sang Home on the XF (it almost has it's own fan club)?
By Eliza. Posted October 5 2008 at 3:50 AM.
Leon you are a star!!!
All the tracks I have heard up to now are amazing. Your vocals on Misty Blue are breathtakingly beautiful.
I know your favourite track is Don't Call This Love but what is your next favourite track and why.
By Helen. Posted October 5 2008 at 2:22 AM.
I was so stunned by how great the tracks sounded, in particular Misty Blue, that I forgot to ask is there any chance that you might tour the UK next year, Leon?
By Riki. Posted October 5 2008 at 1:49 AM.
Wow, stunning voice, great songs! The album is gonna be amazing, a definite Number One!!!
By Riki. Posted October 5 2008 at 1:10 AM.
Wow!!! Love the tracks!!! Welcome back, Leon!!!
