Mitchell’s manager, Marty Brown, said the process and collaboration had been a joy.

“From the first moment Maya and the team at Believe heard the very early rough demos, they were all in and hugely enthusiastic about Lisa’s new album, and have been an absolute joy to work with to bring it to completion,” he said.

Mitchell has had a number if top 10 albums, including 2016’s Warriors (peaked at #9) with Parlophone and Warner Music Australia, and 2021’a Bless This Mess (peaked at #7 via WMA).
