“I thought that was going to be the start of that process for this album,” he recalls. “But after writing four or five songs at the time, I quickly realised it was going over old ground and it just felt a bit stale. “It felt the same vibe as Human and really didn’t fill me with any excitement. “So I thought, ‘I’m not going to write any more. I am just going to take some time to think about what I want to do and just feels natural’.” That led him to a place where he was working solo on an acoustic guitar.
