Announcing the album, Lewis says: "I don't want to create a new sound for myself, or reinvent myself. The songs I want to write are emotional songs, about love or loss."

On the recording process, which saw him take things back to basics in his own home, Lewis adds: "I felt like I was sounding better because I was just chilled out in my own gaff. Also, a lot of this record was made with most of the same people who I worked with on the first one: TMS, Phil Plested, Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway. At least one of them's on almost every song.

"I'm ready. And so are the songs."
