But it’s not all nappies and midnight feeds, she is also planning a bold new musical chapter for 2026. 

She’s promising fans a fresh sound, teasing a switch-up from the style of her first three albums. 

“I can’t just come back as the same Anne-Marie I have been for 10 years. I’m going to do a little spice,” she said, hinting at new tracks including the recently teased Depressed.
