Thu, Jan 19, 2023
'Waiting' has been in the works since 2019. Bruen has released three stunning tracks from it so far, the latest being inspiring single, ‘What To Do’. Recorded and produced by Ray Diamond (Galway based producer) the new record contains, in Tracy's words, "a lot of sadness and grief. But I think it's also uplifting, it celebrates a lot of the love I have in my life, both platonic and romantic, and it speaks to how much I relied on this love (throughout the pandemic and writing of the record) and found support in it."
When it wasn't possible for the album to be released in 2020, Tracy ended up adding some extra tracks to it over the last couple of years. She says: "It's a much deeper album, much more personal than it would have been had it been released in 2020. There are a lot of things that happened in my life over the last four or five years that are contained in the album. It's not really about the pandemic, but the pandemic gave me the time to reflect and write. It brought up a lot for me."
