The 31 track double album will also featuring fan favorites Dream Catch Me, Write It On Your Skin, Clouds as well as three brand new songs all showcasing Newton's brilliance as a songwriter, including lead single Don't Leave Me Waiting which was written while on tour in Australia.
Newton comments; "I wrote this on a trip to Australia when I was meant to have a day off, which doesn’t normally happen when working so far away so I put a writing session in and I’m very glad I did. It’s a song about a friend’s relationship and a situation I think most people have found themselves in, of waiting to find out if someone wants to go out with you, or not. She said yes, so it’s all cool."

Last year Faulkner took to the stage performing as The Sung Thoughts of the Journalist in Jeff Wayne's UK Arena tour of The War of the Worlds.
