Lucie Silvas checked in with fans on her blog at Myspace on July 8th. "I am hidden away in the middle of nowhere at a beautiful residential studio recording my 2nd album," she writes. "Every stage we are going through is so exciting, of course I am very impatient to get it finished but loving every minute of the process. We are working long days and ending them with a few bottles of red wine and watching The Stones on tour for the 50th time-a favorite of Tom Meadows (my drummer) and a regular visual on the tour bus! Hearing these songs come together after writing and recording pretty ruff demos is a dream come true, being able to experiment with sounds and try new things has changed the way I look at the music I wanna do and the kind of artist I am trying to be."

Lucie Silvas was profiled on 'RTL Boulevard', where she talked about getting a break singing backup for former Take That star Gary Barlow, her remake of the Metallica classic 'Nothing Else Matters' and the band's "very nice reaction" to her request to cover the song, worrying about her rugby star boyfriend Geordan Murphy getting injured, and more. Afterwards, the hosts discussed the singer, in Dutch. The video clip at RTL.nl has since been removed.
