It’s been three years since Berlin-based Irish singer-songwriter Wallis Bird released her fifth album, Home. Now, as she prepares for the launch of new record Woman, we find out what she’s been up to and what life looks like as a “fully grown” woman.
“I actually got really into swimming,” Wallis beams, when I ask how she’s been filling her time outside of writing her latest album. “Like, in between all of the touring and writing, I did a lot of things that I really like. I had a nice couple of years, actually – and yourself?” She smiles warmly. It won’t be the last time the 36-year-old extends the conversation beyond herself.
