Apparently this is now featuring Avicii.
I hope this is true, it would be nice to see the smaller record label proved right and winning against the giant they can't financially compete with.

Geez, Syco are really putting Leona through the si*tter So glad that Alexandra signed with another label now, who seems to be handling her project almost entirely. This is turning into a hot mess dot com for Leona.

Court case is on Monday. If Avicii wins Collide won't be released.

I hope so too. It's a massive shame for Leona as she doesn't really have anything to do with it and seems to be the target for most of the abuse, but it really would show Syco they can't do everything their own way.
I also would much prefer to see Fade Into Darkness get released. I certainly don't dislike Collide but it's very easy to see why when sending out Penguin to get vocals added, that Fade Into Darkness was picked instead. It's just so much more anthemic and euphoric, it takes Penguin to a new level whilst Collide is more just pleasant.

I'd be so p*ssed if this release was cancelled. I've already started charting it in my PC

Case adjourned until next Tuesday due to new evidence. It's already derailing Leona's album campaign significantly, but if this gets pulled, she's absolutely screwed. Let's hope she has some killer tracks ready to be made second single. Very interested to see what they rule in the case.

Settled out of court and now to be released together, I imagine Avicii's come off rather well out of it financially.

www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/14548720Leona Lewis and DJ Avicii have reached an agreement over a track which the Swedish producer had claimed was used without his permission. Collide, the X Factor singer's new single, will now be released as a collaboration under both artist's names. Avicii had claimed Collide's sample - a piano dance beat - had been used without his permission. Lewis' label Syco, run by Simon Cowell, had denied this. Collaboration agreed An agreement has now been made without the case ending up in court. A statement from Syco said: "It is announced today that Leona Lewis and Avicii will work together on the forthcoming single Collide. "Since getting its first radio play in the UK it has received rave reviews and is already topping club charts across the country." Avicii wrote on his Twitter page: "Glad to have finally resolved situation with Leona. So happy to move on with Leona and focus on having a hit together." It comes after a row had erupted last month when Lewis' track first premiered. Continue reading the main story It is announced today that Leona Lewis and Avicii will work together on the forthcoming single Collide Syco, Simon Cowell's record label The singer's label Syco says she was given the go ahead to use a track called Penguin, recorded by Avicii. That song sampled an instrumental called Perpetuum Mobile originally by Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Avicii's manager said he thought that Leona would only use the original sample on her new single. "We were under the impression that they were going to sample the original. They ended up copying our version," said the DJ's manager Ash Pournouri in a statement at the time. "We never allowed [Syco] to replay our version of the track. "The original sample rights belong to Simon Jeffes [Penguin Cafe Orchestra] and approval for using that composition is not in our control," he added. Syco said that was untrue. The label said it was crediting Avicii, whose real name is Tim Bergling, on the single. On her Twitter feed, at the end of July, Leona Lewis had said: "With regards to my song, Avicii was aware & agreeing publishing splits for himself and his manager. "When Avicii sent his track out to have a song written over it I totally fell in love with this version and I think he's super talented."
