Background

The album was originally slated for an early 2017 release, however by June 2016[5] Wallis decided to change her position on the album release and decided on an autumn 2016 release with an expanded European tour for early 2017. Recording for the album took place between Ireland and Germany. The subject matter covers life, love, sexuality, long-term relationships and the longing for home in Ireland and forming a new home in Germany.[6]

Singles

The first two promo singles are "Change" and "Control". As part of the promotion for the album release, over an 11-week period one of the tracks which feature on the album were revealed through her social media sites.

Videos

In 17 June 2016 a promo video for "Home" appeared on her website and YouTube; a few days later Wallis confirmed a new album release. On 29 July, a music video for "Control" appeared on her website.[7] A music video for "Control" premiered via Clash magazine on 23 September 2016.[8]

The album was released for download[9] and on CD.[10] It is also available on a limited edition gold coloured 180g vinyl.[11]
