Superstar Leona Lewis has worked with Avicii for the singer’s new single “Collide” – which is expected to be released at all digital retailers on September 6th on J Records/Syco Music.

The single has already received radio play in the UK, and is the first track from Lewis’ as yet untitled third studio album – which she is still hard at work on in the studio.

In addition to the Sandy Vee original mix of “Collide,” the track has also been remixed by some of the hottest DJ/producers in the world right now: Afrojack (Grammy award winner - credits include #1 hit Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything,” remixes for Madonna, Lady GaGa, Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah, Snoop Dogg), Alex Guadino & Jason Rooney; Cahill; Nay Ray.

Leona Lewis shot to international superstardom and has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. Her unrivalled international successes and achievements have seen her win multiple Grammy and BRIT nominations.   

She’s enjoyed chart success internationally with Number One albums and singles, she became the first-ever British artist to debut at Number 1 on the US album charts with a debut album, and her single “Bleeding Love” was Number 1 on over 35 singles/airplay charts. 

The singer has also performed live at some of the world’s most prestigious events including Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert and represented Great Britain at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics alongside Jimmy Page and David Beckham.  Last year Leona completed her first sold-out UK arena tour.
