Syco did not return requests for comment. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Since getting its first radio play in the UK it has received rave reviews and is already topping club charts across the country." In a statement released on Tuesday, Syco said: "It is announced today that Leona Lewis and Avicii will work together on the forthcoming single of Collide. Details of the agreement were not disclosed but the single will be released as planned on 4 September. Syco is understood to have reached an 11th-hour agreement with Avicii's record label, Ministry of Sound, on Monday – hours before the case was due to be heard at the high court in London. The up-and-coming dance producer, Avicii, last week attempted to block the release of Lewis's single claiming that the instrumental was a direct copy of his own song, Fade Into Darkness. Following his death in 2018, a limited-edition vinyl of "Levels" sold for $563.Leona Lewis and her record label – Simon Cowell's Syco – have agreed to work with a 22-year-old Swedish DJ after settling a legal dispute over The X Factor winner's forthcoming single, Collide. Several critics consider "Levels" to be Avicii's greatest song and one of the greatest EDM songs of all time, mostly due to its chart success and the recognizable synth riff. Flo Rida's single "Good Feeling", which became a worldwide hit in late 2011, was primarily influenced by "Levels" and its Etta James sample. It is the same sample previously used in Pretty Lights' 2006 song "Finally Moving" from his debut album, Taking Up Your Precious Time.
"Levels" contains a vocal sample from the 1962 gospel-inspired song "Something's Got a Hold on Me" by Etta James, as written by Leroy Kirkland, Pearl Woods and James. "Levels" was officially released on 28 October 2011 and peaked at number one in Sweden and on the Dance music charts in the United States and became a top ten hit in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. An early instrumental version of the song was first played by Avicii during an appearance on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix in December 2010, while the final version with Etta James's vocals was first performed at the Ultra Music Festival in March 2011, although the final instrumental version was played several times before the festival at clubs and events, even in December 2010.
"Levels" (stylised as "LE7ELS") is a song by Swedish DJ Avicii.
