The singer previously hinted at new material at the end of last year. “I can’t risk rushing what I love, but I hope when it finds you, this music I’m making might give you something,” she tweeted.

Calvi then said that she was “very close” to completing her upcoming project back in December, adding: “See you in 2018”.
