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. 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. 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. Following a 2013 release for Austria and Germany, Glassheart peaked at number five and six respectively, outperforming previous album Echo. In April 2013, Lewis embarked on the Glassheart Tour, in support of the album, visiting Switzerland, Germany and the UK.
Background and release
Lewis completed her first headline tour
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. So I kept going and kept writing and then I got Fraser T Smith involved, who went on to executive produce all the songs.
— Lewis talking to the Birmingham Mail.[8]

At the end of August, Lewis began selecting the track listing and approving the final
Recording sessions
Among the first people to work with Lewis was her frequent collaborator Ryan Tedder who penned and produced multiple songs both on Spirit (2007) and Echo (2009). The album is named after "Glassheart", a song recorded in sessions with Tedder in Denver, Colorado, when Lewis asked for a song that she could "dance and jump around [to]".[21] The song's other co-writers were Noel Zancanella and OneRepublic guitarist Brent Kutzle.[22] Kutzle, Zancanella and Tedder worked with Lewis on another song called "Burn".[23][24] A snippet of "Burn" was used during an interview with Clive Davis which aired on 23 October 2011. Davis headed Lewis' former US label J Records before joining RCA Records when the former was folded. Davis had previously played a part in the A&R division for Lewis' albums. The CBS interview titled Clive "The Music Man" Davis – Interview showed Davis talking about Lewis branching out to work with American producers, and about previewing songs before they were presented to Lewis.[25] However, when the track listing for the album was unveiled, "Burn" was omitted in favour of another Zancanlla/Lewis/Tedder track, recorded with Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, titled "Favourite Scar".[26] "Burn" would later be recorded by British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding for Halcyon Days (2013), the re-release of her second album Halcyon (2012).[27]

At the end of 2011, Lewis spoke about another of her collaborators – this time Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, "I've worked with Calvin on a song and want to do another – he's so talented. I'm planning an EP before the end of the year as I feel bad for everyone who was expecting the album this year. But the lead song won't be the track I've done with Emeli Sandé – that's for the album."
Musical styles and composition
Lewis unveiled the official track listing of the standard edition of Glassheart on 9 September, which excluded the first single "Collide" (with Avicii), although the track did appear on the deluxe edition.
Influence and sound
In February 2011, Lewis said the album would be more experimental than Spirit and Echo, embodying a "different" yet "classic" sound. She added, "I'm really, really excited about it. I'm working with some new producers, some up and coming people and it's going to be kind of a different sound – but still classic".
Throughout the development of the album Lewis explained that she wanted to make an album that is "timeless".[62] 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, Kate Bush and Tears for Fears as the album's primary influences.[47] Lewis spoke on the sound of the album saying "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!" She explained "So the album is such an 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!"[63]

Title and artwork
The album title "Glassheart" was inspired by a conversation that Lewis had with Tedder. During the conversation Tedder asked Lewis about her past experiences with love and life in general. Lewis' response led him to the word "Glassheart". During an interview with Clyde 1 radio, Lewis said "Glassheart represents protecting your heart, yourself and protecting your emotions, its very poignant".[33]

Promotion
Marketing
On 23 July 2012 Lewis released her first video prior to the album release, saying "In the lead-up to my album, I wanted to make some video blogs and share with you my journey (!) and everything that goes on, from the video I'm doing very soon, to going on the road doing shows. Every week I'm going to be doing a little video blog and this is the first one."[83] A second blog entry on 10 August, showed Lewis heading to the studio to record acoustic performances of the album's songs.[84] Later, another blog revealed that five songs had been recorded with the backing provided solely by piano and cello.[13] The first of those acoustic performances was for the album's lead single, "Trouble" featuring Gambino. Filmed in black and white and featuring Lewis singing solo, the performance was released through Lewis' official Vevo account on 5 September.[citation needed] A newsletter to fans on 24 August 2012 mentioned the "Trouble" release and officially revealed details about a competition for aspiring musicians.[85] In association with TalentHouse, fans had the opportunity to compete for the chance to have Lewis' website release their remix. Lewis and Smith would be among the judges.[85]
Additionally, a separate competition gave fans the opportunity to appear in the album's deluxe edition artwork. Fans were encouraged to send in pictures of themselves interacting with a heart (or hearts), from which images would be used for the deluxe edition cover.

Glassheart Tour
In 2013, Lewis embarked on her second headline tour titled "Glassheart Tour",[118] visiting twenty-one venues across Germany and the United Kingdom. The tour began on 15 April in Berlin.[119] The list expanded from an initial sixteen to include five dates in Germany.[120] Lewis then proceeded with UK dates beginning in Glasgow, including two dates at London's Royal Albert Hall before finishing on 18 May in Plymouth.[121] During an interview with Digital Spy, Lewis told Tom Eames that Glassheart has a running theme about "star-crossed lovers that can't be together", and so it was likely that this idea would feature on the tour. Lewis also cited William Shakespeare as another source of inspiration.[56]
