There's an album artwork one on wikipedia, Please say it isn't the official one?! it's absolutely rubbish :(

 

The official artwork was posted a few pages back.

Great interview on Digital Spy. Here are the bits about the album:

 

The album finally has a title - what can you tell us about Glassheart?

"So the album is such a eclectic mix. I've really got to delve into every kind of music that I love, really try everything and make the best of everything. Because I love so many different genres, it's kind of hard to just pick one thing to do, so I just did everything!"

 

Can you tell us about writing the track itself with Ryan Tedder?

"'Glassheart' we wrote, I remember, when I was a little bit down. I went to Denver to hang out with Ryan - to see him and his family - and see if we could come up with something nice. I remember just not wanting to sing a ballad or anything that would make me more sad. I was like, 'Can you give me a song where I can just dance and jump around?', and he was like, 'What about this?' - he played this beat and it was really hypnotic. So I was like, 'Yes! We have to do this'.

 

There's a lot of buzz about a track called 'Trouble' right now. Is this going to be the track to launch the album?

"Yes, I think 'Trouble' will be the second single. I can't wait for everyone to hear it. I'm really excited about it. It's one that I really love."

 

It's received comparisons to Massive Attack from the few who have heard it...

"It's got an element of that in it. A bit of trip-hop, a bit of flavour - I've just never heard anything like it, which is why I was like, 'This is very cool'."

 

Have you finalised the album tracklist?

"Not yet, but I'm almost there. I want to to make a 10-track album. It's difficult to do that, but I think we're going to accomplish it. I want the strongest [tracks] and that's it - no fillers or anything. I want the strongest songs and I think we have them."

 

How has recording Glassheart compared to your experiences on Spirit and Echo?

"It's been a bit different because I have gone on tour, had time off, had different things happening and I was just at a different place when I was doing this album. I was given a bit of free range to do it."

 

 

Do you really enjoy getting on stage and changing up the tracks for the live performances?

"Definitely! Obviously you want to keep the essence of it, but it's nice to change it up once in a while. We did that with quite few of the songs on tour."

 

Has this has any effect on the new album?

"Well, when I was on tour, we mixed a lot of dancer beats on it - my cousin actually reproduced a lot of the ballads. I've taken more of that sound into the album; we've got a lot of piano and live instrumentation. I've a song called 'Fireflies' which I really, really love and hope we get to do as a single. it's a really good one. And it's got a guy on it!"

All sounds great except wanting a 10-track album. :mellow:

10 track album is such a slap in the face in this day and age.

The cynic in me reads that and makes me think they've already decided to re-release it next year, lol.

I would be happy with a 10 track album, only if Leona is speaking the truth in saying there won't be any fillers.

Well Rihanna - Loud & ADELE - 21 only had 11 tracks and i love them both! So i dont think 10 track album is bad to be honest! Aslong as its 10 great songs. Which by the sound of it they are. :)

Exactly what i was about to say SwaggerCher. :)

 

I like her reasoning for wnating 10 tracks too.

 

So excited! And Trouble looks like its next, really excited to hear it :o

 

Fire Flies has a guy on it :o I wonder who...

I have a FEELING that the guy is Chris Brown! I have no idea why it just popped in my mind! Who do you think it is?

Really? That'd be good. I really do not know, would it be someone new? Would it be someone British, American? I really dont know :lol: I'll have a think :P

I DEFINITELY want more than ten tracks. We have waited too long to get a ten track album :rolleyes: 12 minimum please!

Ten track album will be fine, I'd rather have 10 tracks with no filler than 12 tracks with a few filler.

I could deal with 10 good tracks plus 2/3/4 filler though :D

Alot of people have been saying 'Bruno Mars', Dont know who it will be BUT am excited to find out :dance:

My thoughts exactly, i mean everyone is different, filler to one person is a gem to another -_-

That is so true actually!

 

I'm just really looking forward to this album! Sounds like could be some of Leona's best songs on this album!

Apart from the cover, I'm really excited for this album! :D :wub:

The cover looks like its some photo out of a newspaper of leona at an awards ceremony. Not feeling it at all. :thinking:

To be honest with you album covers mean nothing! Look how sh*t ADELE's cover for 21 is sitting there with her eyes closed with her finger in her hair! Then ed sheeran cover is awful! Loads of singers dont have great album covers. It about the music! I think some people are going over the top over a album cover tho lmao She looks stunning in the photo! And like i said it's about the music not the cover. :D

I don't think Leona would want to be connected with Chris Brown.

I actually think Adele's cover is nice, simple doesn't mean boring. However I do agree that it's more about the music than the album cover.
