More Info
Following the acclaimed Versions and a period marked by serious health challenges, the album reflects on memory, loss, resilience and the strange way people change over time. Rather than dwelling on nostalgia, Davies uses the past as a lens to examine who we become after life's biggest upheavals, making this feel like her most personal collection of songs yet.
Musically, As We Once Were builds on the cinematic, piano-led sound that's become her trademark, blending lush orchestration with atmospheric synths, subtle electronic textures and the sharp lyrical detail that has earned comparisons to artists like Tori Amos and Kate Bush.
