Leona Naess is the third album by Leona Naess, released in 2003. It is her first to be released through Geffen Records. The album was a critical success, receiving a four-and-a-half star rating from AllMusic, and was chosen as one of AllMusic's Album Picks.[6] One of the tracks, "Christmas", also appeared on the Music from the OC: Mix 3, and the album reached 43 on the US Top Heatseekers chart in 2003.[7]
A promotion-only version of the album packaged with its commercial release included a bonus DVD featuring interviews with Naess and footage of the recording sessions. The package also included a heart-shaped metal locket, a pressed leaf and a pencil sketch of Naess. The main album is also part of the package although a slightly different master with a different track order.
"Calling" was released as a single from this album. It was announced in December 2006 that "Ballerina" was re-recorded with Tori Amos producing and providing piano for a possible future single release.
