Lucy Spraggan has announced a new album.

'Other Sides Of The Moon' will arrive on June 20 and features reworkings of some of the singer-songwriter's most popular tracks from her seven previous records, including Sober featuring Robbie Williams, Tea & Toast, and Unsinkable, alongside new songs. Commenting on the project, she said:

"It’s always been a dream of mine to re-work songs from my back catalogue. As I have gotten older, I have developed this sense of self that I just didn’t have as a young person; this sense of identity and confirmation of who I am. I feel that way about my music now too. My voice has changed, I know where it sits now, I know where it belongs. When I listen back, I hear where I could have made it a more comfortable sound, or I could have leaned in a slightly different sonic direction.

"Well, that’s the joy of this record (and the joy of growing older, I suppose). I am able to reflect and use what I have learnt to create something different. To take the older songs and breathe a new life into them, to give them a maturity that I didn’t know existed when I first recorded them. An evolution, if you like. There’s something very poetic about being able to look back at the songs that I created as a young person and transform them with a bit of experience, love and wisdom. This album is a bit of that! I feel incredibly grateful to have been in a position to do this project."

As a preview, the former X Factor star has shared a new take on Butterflies, from the deluxe edition of her 2013 LP 'Join The Club', which has been overhauled with new instrumentation, resulting in a richer sound.

"I don’t know, why but it has always been a song that resonated a lot with many of the fanbase," Spraggan explained. "I wrote this song somewhere in my late teens and it’s a simple description about one of the most complex emotions; love. Looking back, I can see how young I was when I wrote this from the lyrics alone; there is a really endearing naivety to the words."

Spraggan is currently amid a headline UK tour, which continues with a show in Frome on April 17. She also has dates lined up throughout the summer, including an appearance at Splendour Festival in Nottingham. Tickets are on sale now.

Her latest album is 2023's 'Balance'.
