Shattered Diamond

Shattered Diamond is the debut album by Emily Henning, released on October 1, 2007, by Wired Records. The album was released to commercial and critical success, entering the UK Albums Chart at #1 with first week sales of 125,271 copies. It also spawned five number-one singles, including Blush, Rhythm of the Rain, Round & Round / Mystified, Shoebox and That Was Then, This is Now. In the UK the album was certified Diamond by the British Phonographic Industry and has since sold more than 1,900,000 copies in the country alone.

Shattered Diamond failed to make an impact in the United States, where it peaked at number 168 on the Billboard 200. Nevertheless, it was commercially successful overseas, reaching the Top 10 on the majority of the charts in Europe and Oceania. By May 2008, the album had sold over seven million copies worldwide.

Background
After the surprise success of her debut single "Blush" in June 2007, Emily's contract with Wired Records was promptly extended for the release of a full album. With a deadline of under four months, the album's recording was a quick process. Much of the album came from songs Emily had previously written and recorded with producer Charlotte Moore for her demo tape. This included the guitar-infused Shoebox", and ballads "Divine Intervention", "Right To Dream" and "No Clouds".

Emily also collaborated with a number of contemporary songwriters and producers to create dance-pop songs in the vein of her hit single "Blush". In an interview with HitQuarters Emily said: "We used "Blush" as a template for the new songs... We wanted those instant tracks that make you feel good."
