So much of this record came from future-tripping on the next chapter of my life and what it might look like: what parenthood would feel like, how it would change everything, and all the excitement and trepidation that comes with that, Moore said of In Real Life in a statement.

At the same time it was about celebrating and acknowledging where we were at the moment and really trying to be completely present in the everyday which is maybe the hardest part of the human condition.

Of the lyrical content of the album, Moore added: To me its all about staying open, staying aware, staying sensitive and empathetic to the people around me.

Theres something about expressing myself through lyrics and melody that makes me feel whole, and I see it as a privilege to have that outlet. And even though this album is very specific to me and my experience theres songs about my baby, my husband, my father, my friends I hope everyones able to see their own lives in it. I hope theyre able to come along on the journey with me, and put themselves in the drivers seat.

Moore has also announced details of a North American tour which will take place across June and July you can find details of the dates and tickets here.
