This 16-page A4 full colour booklet contains the story of the creation of the album together with a pen-portrait of each song and full lyrics with numerous images of Rebecca throughout.
A Storm Is Coming is a ten-track journey from tension to release, where blues-rock soul and alternative edge collide. Led by Rebecca's characteristic, powerhouse vocal, the album marries guitar punch, Hammond glow and chant-along refrains that will be at home both on radio and in a room full of raised voices.
The anthemic title track and the high-velocity Never Gonna Take You Back deliver instant hooks, while Falling Into You flips red-flag doubt into a feel-good, romantic rush. Slow-burn ballads (These Days, Bitter Taste and Hit The Ground Running) lean towards the nocturnal and confessional, swelling into catharsis. Throughout the album, the writing centres on resilience, self-preservation and honest breakups - storms that clear the sky.
These Days, Falling Into You and Hold The Reins have been released as singles, with Falling Into You play-listed by Planet Rock Radio UK.
For fans of Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Dorothy, Grace Potter and Beth Hart, this is contemporary rock with classic heart: big choruses, guitar and organ spine, and a through-line of defiant hope.
