    They've pushed unconvincing edginess with clubbier sounds, including the title track, an overloaded mess of dubstep breaks and house beats.

    Granted, much of the record is still given over to quaking ballads like Fingerprint--an area where Adele now has the advantage--but several tracks demand attention.

    It's a sonic monument to marvel at, not a piece of art that's asking for your engagement.

    As it is, it's simply the next Leona Lewis album.
  5. This long-delayed third album sets out to make the Hackney diva "current" again.

    As a whole, Glassheart is listenable, with a few ups and downs in terms of the quality of the tracks, but does tend to keep to a very steady keel of mediocrity without much deviation.

Everyone should listen that elecronic masterpiece. Expand

    Vocally, she's always on point. That's the main selling point here.
    Many speculated that this was going to be Leona's first dance album. A few electronic numbers here and there (the incredible title track and 'Come Alive') did make the cut, but the rest stuck to the ballad formula that made her a star. It's a good album overall, but much like Muse's 'The 2nd Law', the shame here is that it wasn't more electronic, more out of the ordinary, more experimental.

Thing is, there are many vocals like "ooh", "yeah" (for example, from Fireflies), or "dum dum diddy" (from Lovebird) and cliché texts which make the album kinda dull at some points. Another thing is, the producers didn't do a very good job which also makes the album an utter mess. However, the album's vocals and a few good songs (Trouble, Glassheart, Colorblind) are the album's saving grace, but there are also bad songs (Come Alive, Lovebird, I To You) and When It Hurts which is completely useless. Overall, in comparison to Spirit & Echo, this is a very huge decline from her previous albums. Expand

If you are a fan of songs that start with a melancholy acoustics followed by a warble-tremolo “oooh” or “yeah” vocals then you are in luck as this album has plenty. Expand
