Two years on from her debut album Choosing, Bella Union-signed singer/songwriter Sophie Jamieson has announced the 17 January release of I still want to share, which finds her working alongside two-time Grammy-winning producer and engineer Guy Massey across 11 new songs with lush string arrangements by French-British composer Josephine Stephenson.

Speaking on lead single "I don't know what to save" – out today – Jamieson says:

“This song was some kind of running break for freedom. I was carrying the weight of my attachment to a person and all the pain entangled with them, but here came an out-reaching, a burst of energy and glimmer of hope. It was an enormous push towards letting go. The unbearable pain of detaching felt like entering some kind of eerie, unknown space that turned out, upon arriving, to be not only totally survivable but like pure, fresh air.”

Jamieson describes the album in a press release as having "a lot of warm autumnal colours, and then more glittery, dark, starry skies," adding: "I think what holds this record together is the idea of attachment rather than love. The clinical, less romantic nature, the ugly nature, but also the very human nature of that.”
