She made her name with an iconic single and a number one album.
But now Scottish singer Sandi Thom is to release a song almost every week to download, because she believes “there’s no money in making albums any more”.
The performer, from Banff in Aberdeenshire, topped the charts with I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair) taken from her 2006 album ‘Smile… It Confuses People’.
Her first album went platinum and reached number one in the UK Album Charts.
But now Sandi says albums do not make money for most artists and she has set herself the target of writing a song a week after composing a tune for her son.
It comes a few months after Sandi opened up about her torment during post-natal depression when she considered taking her own life.
Thankfully the resilient 36-year-old overcame her demons and looks set for an exciting 2018.
“Yesterday I wrote a song about my little boy,” she posted on social media.
“It was simplistic, honest and unfiltered.
“It marks the beginning of a personal challenge I’m going to set myself to write a song a week for 52 weeks, eradicating the idea of the album.
“I intend to record each song in its most basic form and I’m not interested in being boxed into any particular genre.
“I’m only interested in delivering honest, real heartfelt emotive songs that touch people in some way or another.”
