I think most of her album was how you described. Collide wasn't what the album was going to sound like. Trouble was trip hop, Blank Page was a depressing "Someone Like You" level ballad, the others were "island-influeced". "80's electro tinged", and Mountains was very stripped back, etc.

I think it got delayed because Leona wanted 10 songs and the upper management wanted more, hence why she's recording more. Plus November is too busy for her to release on. I'm actually glad it;s getting a spring release now. It's not as busy and gives her more time to make sure this era goes right. I'd like to see her release a promotional second single to tie people over or even do a Christmas song to tie over.
