By the time Sheffield-raised, Canterbury-born photograph salesperson Lucy Spraggan had received rapturous applause for her performance of the self-penned "Last Night" during an X Factor 2012 audition, the singer/songwriter already had a self-released album to her name and once Spraggan's audition had been televised, Zoo reached number 22 on the U.K. albums chart, while "Last Night" just missed out on the Top Ten of the same week's singles chart. In 2013 she released her sophomore album, followed by We Are in 2015. Later that year she announced that she had founded her own label, CTRL Records, which saw its first release with her 2016 EP, Home. She then started work on her fourth full-length effort later that year, stating that the writing process was more spontaneous than planned. The record, entitled I Hope You Don't Mind Me Writing, saw release in January 2017. Two years later, she issued her fifth full-length effort, Today Was a Good Day. 'Choices', Lucy’s last album released in 2021, debuted at #5 in the Official UK Albums charts.
Now well underway with her exciting new album campaign, Lucy continues to put her emotions and personal stories out into the world with an honesty and fearlessness. Lucy has big plans for 2023, including a headline UK tour to take place in May 2023, along with her autobiography ‘Process’ set for release in July 2023. Her new album balance is due for release in August 2023.
