Untitled

Glassheart is the upcoming third studio album by British recording artist Leona Lewis. Originally scheduled for release in November 2011, the album received a four month set-back to allow for additional recording sessions. The expected release date for Glassheart is now 26 March 2012[1]. The first single from the album is a collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii, titled "Collide", and was released 2 September 2011. It reached top-five in the UK and became Lewis' second number 1 in the USA when it rose to number 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs in its seventh week on the chart.

Background

Lewis began work on her third album shortly after she had completed The Labyrinth tour.[2] It was also reported that Simon Cowell had set a deadline for the album for a summer 2011 release.[3] Leona later stated that she was given personal control over the album and that she determined when she wanted to release it. She also revealed that her record label was "scared" about the album. [4]

For this album, Lewis has worked with numerous writers and producers including: Ammo, Jonas Quant, Chuck Harmony, Claude Kelly, Ryan Tedder, Fraser T. Smith, Al Shux, Steve Robson,[5] Dallas Austin,[3] Rico Love[6] and Ne-Yo.[7] In May 2011, it was reported that Lewis had recorded a track called "Trouble" written by Hugo Chegwin, Harry Craze, Shahid Khan and Emeli Sandé. Lewis also recorded a track called "Mountains" written by Khan, James Murray, Mustafa Omer and Sandé.[6]

In late September, Leona announced that she cancelled plans to release the album in 2011 and cited more "inspiration" as a reason to continue recording and release the album in early 2012.[8]

On October 7, RCA Music Group announced it was disbanding J Records along with Arista Records and Jive Records. With the shutdown, Lewis will release her Glassheart in the US on the RCA Records brand.[9][10]

Composition

Lewis suggested the album would be "a bit different from what people have heard" from her before, adding that she planned to "go in and create and just see what happens".[11] Lewis later described the album as "more progressive", "more eclectic", "more uptempo" and "a bit darker".[12] Reports suggested that the album had taken a dubstep direction, with songwriters asked to submit dance songs and no ballads.[13] However, Leona has since refuted these reports and said that the album will have "big, Leona ballads."

In June 2011, when asked about the upcoming album, Lewis described it as "energetic, deep, [and] unique". She also commented that it would have a darker tone and that she would be putting her "heart into [her] lyrics". She cited Tracy Chapman and Tears for Fears as the album's primary influences.[14]

Promotion

On September 3, 2011 Leona appeared on the first episode of Red or Black? to perform Collide. Following the performance she also went to G-A-Y, a nightclub in London, where she performed Collide and debuted the song 'Glass Heart'. It was also Lewis' first performing at G-A-Y

Singles

"Collide" is the first single released from this album. The dance-pop anthem, written by Autumn Rowe and produced by Sandy Vee, had its first UK radio play on The Scott Mills Show on BBC Radio 1 on 15 July 2011. It will be released in the UK on 4 September 2011 and Germany on 9 September 2011.[15][16][5] The single courted controversy after it was claimed to have plagiarised Swedish musician Avicii's 2010 song "Penguin".[17] Berg took the case to the British High Court where it was resolved by the single being released as a collaboration with both artists.[18][19]. It was also rumored that "Fireflies" was set to be the second single off the yet unreleased album on November 27.
