‘And since then it’s been okay, I’m back in the studio now which is so much better because I can go places and do things and be back in work mode that I have missed. It’s nice to have a routine; I do find it hard not having a routine so back into it finally.’

Going on to discuss her new music, Louisa claimed her vision for her forthcoming album was ‘flipped on its head’ following lockdown as her style of music and writing has changed during the period of self-reflection.

‘I always said to myself, and the people who support me and my music, that I want it to really be like a diary,’ she explained. ‘I really want it to be real, and I want to tell people my life experiences through song. ‘I think each song is going to be a diary entry in a way which I’m really excited about, because I just feel like it’s going to give people a real insight into myself as a person. I feel like no one really knows me.’
