Richards recently revealed four tracks at an acoustic session from her forthcoming album. She opened with On My Way, the lead single, before showcasing ballad End Before We Start, Shame On You, and These Wings, which she said was her favourite track.

At this acoustic session, she also revealed why she has decided now to go solo, revealing: “I recently turned 40 and thought, if I don’t do it now, I never will.”

For her debut album, she teamed up with producer Steve Anderson, who has worked with huge artists including Britney Spears, Kylie, Take That and more. He produced most of the album and wrote a couple of songs too.
