After doing that, I found my new bit of confidence and with that I thought \u2018I might write a bit of a sexy song!\u2019\u201d says Lucy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Always frank and direct, Lucy has been through a hell of a year. A break-up and an impending divorce, getting sober, discovering she was lactose intolerant, going through lockdown alone and getting a body and a 6 pack to die for after losing 3 and a half stone through weightlifting, running and a healthy protein rich diet. Her forthcoming album, \u2018Choices\u2019, is packed full of her heart rendering life experiences, that have served in giving her the headspace to mature and grow, both musically and personally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sonically, &#8216;Flowers&#8217; is heavily inspired by Lucy\u2019s zealous travelling spirit and the subtleties of US music and culture.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhenever I had any time off, I\u2019d just hire a Harley Davidson and ride it to the desert from Nevada to California. I was cruising along listening to old school music and it inspired a lot of the sound on this record.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Flowers&#8217; was written and recorded in Scotland throughout lockdown with the help &amp; masterful production of multi-instrumentalist Pete Hammerton (One Direction, Paloma Faith &amp; Little Mix), as well as renowned engineer Danton Supple (Coldplay, Morrissey, Kylie. Minogue).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lucy Spraggan was the first X-Factor contestant to have a Top 40 single and album before the live shows began in 2012, and she went on to have 5 Top 30 albums and to be the first female headliner of Kendall Calling Festival. With a big Summer of festival bookings scheduled and lost for 2020, Lucy took the changes the pandemic wrought in her stride and focused on completing her album and launching her fitness brand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An advocate for positive mental health, working closely alongside charities such as CALM and Alzheimer\u2019s UK, she is also striving to help people feel more confident in themselves with her new online six-week workout scheme called, \u2018Fully Rewired\u2019, a new initiative to help develop a space for people to share their goals and aspirations to get them inspired and physically active. So far over 7,000 people have signed up to the programme.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alongside the release of her sexy new single and forthcoming album, Lucy has also announced a UK Tour in 2021, which will see her take to the stage at venues such as the O2 Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire and Manchester\u2019s O2 Ritz. Lucy will also appear at Warwick Castle\u2019s, &#8216;Picnic at the Castle&#8217; later this month on 26<sup>th<\/sup> September for a socially distanced show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Lucy Spraggan \u2018<em>Choices<\/em>\u2019 tour 2021:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>12 APRIL\u00a0 (MON)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0GLASGOW\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O2 ACADEMY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>13 APRIL\u00a0 (TUES)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 SHEFFIELD\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O2 ACADEMY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>14 APRIL\u00a0 (WED)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0NOTTINGHAM\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ROCK CITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>15 APRIL\u00a0 (THURS)\u00a0 BRISTOL\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O2 ACADEMY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>18 APRIL \u00a0(SUN)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 LONDON\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O2 SHEPHERD\u2019S BUSH EMPIRE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>19 APRIL\u00a0 (MON)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0MANCHESTER\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O2 RITZ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>20 APRIL\u00a0 (TUES)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0MANCHESTER\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0O2 RITZ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>For more information please visit Lucy Spraggan&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/lucyspraggan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No stranger to the spotlight, Lucy Spraggan is one of the UK\u2019s most exciting and talented young, female singer songwriters today.
