I had a provisional deadline but I was still in the midst of recording and didn't feel like I'd got the crux of the album. Cowell would later publicly offer his support, declaring to Lewis that although there had been a wait of two years for new music, "I think this new album is sensational, you've never sounded better." Simon Cowell has heard some of the tracks and he loves it". In April 2012, in an interview at the Ariella Couture fashion show, Lewis stated, "I'm now planning to have the album out in the summer. During an interview with Digital Spy, Lewis confirmed that she had recorded with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and that Smith had been brought on board to help with production. In January 2012, Lewis announced that the album was being pushed back again, this time to November 2012. To bridge the gap between Echo (2009) and Glassheart, Lewis teamed with British producer Fraser T Smith to record Hurt: The EP, an extended play ( EP) of cover songs that was released in December. 26 March 2012 was confirmed as the new release date for Glassheart. However Lewis was inspired to continue making music and used her Facebook account to announce that the album was being pushed back into early 2012. Originally " Collide", a collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii, was released in August 2011, with the album to follow in November. Recording and production officially began in late 2010 with a view to releasing the album in November 2011. Lewis completed her first headline tour The Labyrinth in July 2010 and soon after began making plans for her then-untitled third album. In April 2013, Lewis embarked on the Glassheart Tour, in support of the album, visiting Switzerland, Germany and the UK. Following a 2013 release for Austria and Germany, Glassheart peaked at number five and six respectively, outperforming previous album Echo. Elsewhere the album became Lewis' third top-five album in Ireland, and upon its international release in November 2012, reached the top thirty in some of continental Europe. In the UK, the album was Lewis' first album not to reach number one, debuting at number three with 27,000 copies in its first week. Glassheart received a mixed reception from critics, who praised the vocals and experimental use of dubstep and electronic music but were less impressed with the album's many ballads. Subsequent singles " Trouble" featuring American rapper Childish Gambino and " Lovebird" were less successful, the former reaching the top ten in the UK and top thirty in Ireland, while the latter sold fewer than 600 copies in the UK and failed to chart anywhere in Europe. The Afrojack remix of "Collide" is the only version to feature on Glassheart. Through mutual agreement it was released as a collaboration, becoming a top-five hit in the UK and Lewis' first to top the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Originally a song by just Lewis, Avicii sued Sony Music claiming that the song plagiarised his own instrumental " Penguin". " Collide", a collaboration with house music DJ Avicii, was released on 2 September 2011. Producer Fraser T Smith executive produced the album after impressing Lewis with his work on Hurt: The EP (2011), a cover song extended play (EP) that Lewis released to bridge the gap between Echo (2009) and Glassheart. On Glassheart, Lewis reunites with Ryan Tedder, record producer of her previous singles " Bleeding Love" and " Happy" and songwriter Andrea Martin who co-wrote " Better in Time", in addition to a number of new collaborators such as British duo Naughty Boy and Emeli Sandé, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and DJ Frank E.
