♥️ Love is a Fire 🔥 is out now!

It’s a vulnerable song that explores insecurity, overthinking and the need for reassurance in relationships. It was cathartic to write and I hope you love it as much as I do!

As always, so much love to the incredible musicians who made this track with me:
🔸@zacharysavagemusic guitars
🔸 @alexferry95 bass
🔸 @anneka_j drums
🔸 @nilescott92 fiddle

Recorded & produced by @blamiremusic at @polestarstudios

Distribution from @wipeoutmusic

Skinny Dipping in November 🌅 04.09.2026

ONE WEEK TO GO until the first single from my next EP, Missed Connections, is out 🥹

I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a release, and it would mean the absolute world to me if you could help me give it a little push; pre-save it (link in bio as per), share the pre-save link with someone you think might love it, and (most importantly) give it a listen when it’s out!

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🫶

Here’s a picture of me “frolicking in August”, which pretty much sums up my current level of excitement 🙃

The first ever voice note - so many different melodies and lyrics, it’s actually so weird to listen to (mailing list heard the full version!) 🤗

The full EP is out in November (how appropriate) with a headline show @pilgrimncl on the 8th! See you there 💙✈️ by @polestarstudios

‼️ NEW MUSIC INCOMING‼️
My next EP “Missed Connections” will be out on November 6th ✈️

This EP is a bit of a retrospective look at my life; from first love, heartbreaks, incredibly poor life decisions and everything in between. It was beyond cathartic to write and record and I’m so happy with how it’s sounding!

Huge thanks to the incredible musicians I get to call my band and friends - @zacharysavagemusic @anneka_j @alexferry95 & @nilescott92 🩵 and of course to @blamiremusic of @polestarstudios for making these songs come to life!

I’ll be releasing a couple of singles over the next few months, which raises the question: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FIRST!?? (It won’t change anything like, but it’s fun to know these things… 🫠)

A few weeks ago in @polestarstudios we tracked 10 new songs onto analogue tape. This will form a "solo" record I am releasing in the autumn. These songs are a slightly different vibe to our recent records, and I can't wait to share them soon. Of course I had some help from @teapadtom (baritone/mandolin/harmonica), Ted (double bass/piano) and @archibaldpaul (snare drum).

Big thanks to Alex at Polestar who had much patience whilst we learned the songs off the cuff!
