It appears just under four years since its predecessor, “Maybe We Never Die” (2021), but continues very much in the vein of East’s core Southern rock/pop/R&B sound. The album was co-produced by East and regular collaborator Dave Cobb. It was recorded at Cobb’s Studio in Savannah and then mixed by East in Nashville.

In town to perform in the round at the Highways Festival at the Royal Albert Hall, Katie Pruitt played a show the previous night at Hoxton Hall in East London. The venue originally started life as a music hall in 1863 although it was occupied by the Quaker movement for most of its life. Partly because of that, it has retained its old structure with a high stage and two balconies around three sides of the room. Pruitt was last in the UK with her band, but this show was solo acoustic.
