Now, when I listen to it, I hear how much I needed her help and I am so grateful for finding some Balance. Now, more than a decade later, those are still two words that immediately spring to mind when chatting with Spraggan about her new album. Balance well and truly showcases Lucy’s strength and growth and not just in her working life – with lyrics about chasing her own dreams and living her life, the poignant ‘Seasick’ is the perfect example of how far she’s come in her personal life.When I started to work on who I am and how I was going to find my own balance I realised that it’s not always best to do it alone and that sometimes it’s important to reach out for help.

Balance’ is Lucy Spraggan’s seventh studio album produced by Philip MaGee and released through Lucy’s own label Ctrl Records working alongside Simon Cowell’s Syco Publishing company.Who doesn’t remember Lucy Spraggan, the jolly local lass that was the odd one out on The X Factor in 2012?
