Talking about recording the new album, Tommy said:

"We ended up parting ways with A&M, which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

"I thought it would be harder to make the next album but a lot of the same people are on board. My manager and press team, promoters and radio pluggers are still working with me.

"The new album is more grown-up and bits of it are heavier lyrically. It is all about the mad things I had to deal with last year.

"The new label is great. I didn't want people to wait too long for the follow-up to the first one."
