Hi friends,

It’s 2025, how did that happen? January has felt like the longest month of all time, and I wasn’t even doing dry Jan!!

First things first - I feel like I can tell you all my secrets sooooo0o0o, my next single ‘The Way It Is’ is coming out on the 28th February. It’s a song I wrote last year in April about coming out of a period of poor mental health into a slightly more hopeful period, and is kind of a thank you letter to the people who help you get there. I recorded it with Tom in studios around London last summer and it really became a song we both loved. You can support me and the song by following me on your streaming service of choice, or pre-saving here or sharing it with your friends and family if you like it.

The artwork represents this idea of change and hope and is a knitted horseshoe, just like a matching tattoo I got with Dora. I guess it also reflects that knitting is one of my key ways to deal with my brain not being in the best place. Anywayyyy I’m so excited for you to hear it :)

The last time I wrote one of these I was just at the beginning of another month in Nashville. I spent most of my time back in coffee shops and writing songs and meeting people that are now key features in my life. I’m so lucky and grateful to have another life on the other side of the world that feels as much home as London does.

Back in London I’m working on new music in my freshly painted studio (please slide into the DMs if u fancy writing anything ever), I’m working in a bakery (Harry Styles style), going to the sauna and hot yoga and trying to keep from having to write ‘The Way It Is’ five times over.

Speak soon,
