In the Lonely Hour will always be my first declaration in music and I will always be proud of that. I listen back to the album now and it feels like looking back at old photos, a mix of emotions. But I love the record and I still love singing these songs so much.
This album was written about a period of unrequited love in my life. It's a real life coming-of-age story, I was 22 when it was released and even younger when I wrote many of the songs, I was discovering myself in so many ways.
Being at the Proms for the first time feels like a wonderful opportunity to celebrate my British musical heritage. The newer songs I'm performing link into this period, they've traveled with me since childhood.
