Speaking of the record, she says: “After 40 years in this business and having reached a point in my life where I do a lot of this, looking back and replaying scenes from my life... and wondering…I walk around Galway sometimes and remember absolutely everything about growing up there.

“All of those events made me who I am. I'm easy with that these days. The good and the bad times. All the learning. After 40 years in this crazy business I'm still here and still working. I still love going to a studio and making music, I love playing music live. I hope you enjoy this album”

Described by Hot Press as “One of our most openly raw performers”, Coughlan has built a reputation as one of the greatest female vocalists that Ireland has ever produced, drawing the line of artists such as Bessie Smith or Edith Piaf.
