Speaking about achieving the milestone in a press release, Wainwright shared: ” 20 years ago my life as an artist took shape when my first record was released. In many ways that record defined me, as well as launched me into a now over 20 year long career that has made me who I am.

She continued: “It was after 10 years of playing in bars, making cassettes and EPs to sell at my shows, singing backup for my brother Rufus, falling in love and out of love, practising, writing, singing until I could barely sing anymore, partying, playing with musicians and listening to great artists, working with my ex-husband in the studio for 2 years, all that created this first record.”

Wainwright also revealed that the album will be released on vinyl for the first time and will be digitally releasing unheard tracks, outtakes and “early material from that 10-year period of discovery that led to my first record.”

Her tour will see her play her self-titled debut album in full “as well as a few new songs- there’s no 48-year-old me with the 28-year-old me.”

The musician’s most recent release was her 2021 LP ‘Love Will Be Reborn‘.
