Background
Melua started writing and recording the album when she was in the process of separating from her estranged husband, World Superbike racer James Toseland. “We are both perfectionists,” Melua stated. “So we both really wanted to ‘get it right’. But in the end, I think we both accepted it was over and decided to perfect the art of letting go. I looked to nature for support and saw the falling leaves as part of a beautiful cycle."

Album No. 8 was met with universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album received a weighted average score of 82, based on four reviews.
