It is her first major release since the 2018 album “Hunter”.
Anna Calvi said of the EP, “Scoring the final two seasons of Peaky Blinders really altered how I create music. I always used to imagine my songs as mini films, but with this EP I wanted to explore a narrative which could exist throughout all the songs.”
She continued, “Having a child was so transformative it made me consider the possibility that everything in life could potentially shift, and that is scary but incredibly freeing. I didn't want to take anything for granted any more. I want to exist in the best way for my child. I wanted to ask the most basic human question—is this all there is?” -
