About this deal

It’s one of the things that Spraggan has also touched upon in her memoir which was published this July.

If you could stand back / I used to say that / I thought I needed space to find my balance / But I might need a hand, and if you could be that / I might need some help to find my balance.Lucy announced the album back in December 2022, alongside the release of its piano led title track, which boasts some of her strongest vocals yet. But in opening the LP, Lucy goes right back to the beginning with a throwback reference to Last Night (Beer Fear) – the song that made her a household name after she performed it on ‘The X Factor’ stage in 2012. When I tell her not everyone’s able to find an appropriate medium for emotions or thoughts that don’t have anywhere else to go, whether that’s spilling over into paint, words, or music, she’s quick to disagree. I think it’s a real privilege actually, to be able to listen to a song from ten years ago and go – look at the difference now.

Now, when I listen to it, I hear how much I needed her help and I am so grateful for finding some Balance. All of those albums are a part of my collection of music, whereas all these tattoos are a collection of my existence. After celebrating the 10th anniversary of her first X Factor audition back in August, with unveiling of the beautifully emotive ‘Everything Changes‘, Lucy has spent the last four months putting the finishing touches to both the LP, and the book. It’s like a transformation picture, or listening to a song and saying, I can’t believe I ever felt like that! A hauntingly beautiful tribute to Lucy’s late friend, Caroline Flack, ‘Caroline’ addresses the scrutiny that comes with life in the public eye.Now, more than a decade later, those are still two words that immediately spring to mind when chatting with Spraggan about her new album. Due to inventory and accounting purposes, we do not exchange items received for different items than originally purchased.

I just think that Van Gogh would not have made the quality of work that he did, if he had had to worry about which gallery his paintings would be in in 200 years,” she gestures. Because if more people bought your album that week than they did a different album, you are literally rated out of ten for that.Indeed, it’s as if Spraggan’s been able to tap into a previously untouched fragility, a strength to discuss deeply personal topics such as mental health and healing from the past. I don’t have this connection with commercial or even regional radio like a lot of artists do, but I do have a very genuine connection with the people who come to my shows. It is very Irish – there’s the Irish pipe, an instrument that’s more than 100 years old, and a cello that’s also more than 100 years old on the recordings.
