High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hurt: The EP is the first extended play (EP) by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis. It was released on 9 December 2011 by Syco Music and RCA Records. The EP served as something to bridge the gap for her fans whilst she finishes recording for her third studio album Glassheart (2012). The album was supposed to be released in November 2011, but was delayed to March 2012, and again to November 2012. Lewis`s reason for delaying the album was because after she met producer Fraser T Smith, the singer wanted to collaborate on new material for possible inclusion on Glassheart. As a result, Smith also produced Hurt: The EP. The EP consists of three cover versions: "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails; "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and "Colorblind" by Counting Crows. Musically, the songs draw influence from rock music, whilst the lyrics revolve around feeling pain.
