Description

Closing the record in the present day, the double hit of Manchester and Cost Of Living offer a glimpse at Lucy’s life now; the first is a love letter to her adopted home city, with allusions to Oasis and talk of the //‘wild North West’// in an ode to community and inclusivity, while the closing number nods to the post-Brexit British economy while ticking through the shared experience of being human in the 21st century.

If you’ve seen Lucy perform live, you’ll know that audience participation is a huge part of her sets and it’s easy to see which tracks are going to attract those mass singalongs – two being ‘Not Another Travelling Song’ and the album’s penultimate track, ‘Manchester’. Other tracks released in the run up to the album’s release included ‘Everything Changes’, ‘OCD’, ‘Bodies’ and ‘Empire’ – all of which are incredibly personable. Similarly, there’s “The Cost of Living,” which she describes as “quite fun – an old school song of mine that’s more like spoken word. All of those albums are a part of my collection of music, whereas all these tattoos are a collection of my existence. Spraggan certainly doesn’t spare herself or her flaws, and chooses instead to showcase how she’s grown to either work on them or embrace them.With a bridge in which Spraggan’s voice breaks while promising Caroline’s mum that “the kindness remains”, it’s sure to be a meaningful ballad that people hopefully take to heart. There wasn’t a hint that there was much more to tell about her X Factor journey but 7th album Balance is very much about coming to terms with a difficult past and developing resilience. A decade on from her first X Factor audition Lucy releases new album alongside her forthcoming memoir Both the 14- track album and the book see her reflecting on her life till now. It’s rare for me to comment in music on something that I’m not directly involved in,” Spraggan explains carefully.

She’s been steadily creating, which is something that the industry at large almost seems a little too eager to forget. It’s one of the things that Spraggan has also touched upon in her memoir which was published this July.My family are all Scottish, and there’s strong binds between England, Ireland, Scotland – so it just came out sounding quite like, almost, tribal. A decade since shooting to fame on the X Factor as the first contestant to perform an original song, Lucy Spraggan is having a busy year. That doesn’t deny the fact that I have a fuckload of tattoos all over my body, and it’s the same with music. 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. Described as being a personal reflection of her life to this point, the record will be released Friday, April 28th 2023, with Process set to follow later that summer.
