began working on fourth studio album

Also in March 2011, Heap began working on her then–unnamed fourth studio album, which she said would be largely inspired by her trips to Asian countries such as Bhutan, China, and India, and revealed that she would be writing and releasing a new single for the album once every three months. She recorded and released the album’s lead single, then released under the working title “Heapsong1” and eventually released commercially as “Lifeline” with a music video, via Ustream . It was made using crowdsourced audio samples, videos, and photos from fans and based on a story she read about the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami . “Propeller Seeds”, the second single, followed in July 2011, and was billed as the first song to use 3D audio . The third single from the album, “Neglected Space”, was created as part of Heap’s project with charity organization Clear Village to restore a Georgian walled garden in Bedfords Park and released in October 2011. She starred in the debut episode of the Indian musical reality television series The Dewarists , where she recorded “Minds Without Fear”, the fourth single from Sparks , with Indian production duo Vishal–Shekhar . Both “Neglected Space” and “Minds Without Fear” were released in October 2011.
