Drop Cherries Tracklist
“Drop Cherries” Q&A
-
What have the artists said about the album?
When I’m trying to write, the creative door is closed most of the time. When it briefly opens, I know I’ve stumbled across moments of true emotion and insight; they give no warning and are often unpredictable. I can’t force the process, something I’m realising more with each album. And that’s why I know that Drop Cherries is a collection of songs expressing genuine intuitive feeling.
Dropping cherries is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship.

What have the artists said about the album?
If I think about past songs that lean into the sadness and lack of self that I was feeling, I really wanted to bat that out of the park and go, ‘Now I have the answer. I’ve landed. I don’t know where it’s going to take me; I’ve not reached the peak of all wisdom. It’s just that I’m more of a human being than I was before. I’m ready to tackle living now.
I wanted to depict all forms of a relationship. So the beginning, the new idea, and then going through the mundane and the colloquial, just living together as two. Very pure messages of love. It is so very precious and unique to me, but I didn’t want to make it so people couldn’t relate to it. I was trying to find messages that were as universal as they were private.
