Fans have been getting hyped about this release for a long time now and the fact tha it'll be with us in a matter of weeks has got us on the edge of our seats!
What Will 'Speak Your Mind' Sound Like?
Anne-Marie has released a host of hits across the last couple of years and there are a few singles which have already been released that feature on the album.
'Ciao Adios', 'Alarm' and 'FRIENDS' have all given us a taster of what to expect from the release and we also know that Anne-Marie co-wrote the song '2002' with Ed Sheeran too, so there's so much to look forward to.
It's also been revealed that Anne-Marie has worked with songwriters Emily Warren (Dua Lipa "New Rules") and Ina Wroldsen (Clean Bandit 'Symphony') on 'Speak Your Mind', so we can be sure there are some huge pop hits on the way!
In an interview with Billboard, Anne-Marie hinted at some dancefloor filling tunes on the album too, as she revealed her influence saying, "I actually have been really influenced by dance music. When I first started writing, I wrote really sad, emotional songs which were all slow."
"And it wasn’t until I toured with Rudimental or did a song with Clean Bandit or more uptempo songs that I realized that I need something in my sets for my live shows otherwise I’m going to be singing the slowest sets in the whole world that everyone’s going to be crying."

What Is 'Speak Your Mind About'?
Explaining what fans can expect from the album, Anne-Marie told Billboard, "It’s emotional, there’s a lot of different subjects. The thing is, with me, I’m not just trying to talk about ex-boyfriends, although I’m quite good at that."
"I like to talk about everything, from body confidence issues to what’s going on in the world right now. There’s a lot of different vibes in there, and I hope that there’s a song for every moment -- if you’re going on a long car journey or getting ready to go out -- something for everyone."
