Working on a Charlie Burchill tune called "A Silent Kiss". Kind of dark, very romantic, related in style to both "Liaison" and "Bittersweet" from ''[[Big Music (album)|Big Music]]''. Some songs you seemingly have to dig very deep to create. Others seem like they just want to jump out of you - somehow already fully formed. Some come easy, some more elusive. This one feels great already."}} On 15 November 2017, the new album title and track listing leaked on Amazon UK.
