PHILDEL

The writing of “The Deep” x

My sons both still notice the tiny wonders in nature. When I’m up against it, beaten down by the intense pressures of adult life, they wander over to me to share the joys they’ve found - and it is such a break in the weather 🙌 #creativehappylife #naturelover #parenting

It was like the moment just before the breeze hits. You don’t always see it coming, you just feel it — and suddenly everything’s in motion again. That’s what coming back from burnout felt like for me. Messy, unexpected, alive. I’m so glad to be feeling my energy return #music

Nature just doing its quietly extraordinary thing…🌼

Writing an album is a weird kind of archaeology. You dig for months and aren’t sure what you’re looking for, then one day you look up and most of it is just… there. ❤️Next week I’m going to be sharing the demos of a few songs with all of you who have given me your emails x

Visited the other-worldly landscape of Dungeness over the weekend! I’d wanted to visit for twenty years and finally the day came…highly recommend it x

Friends, I’ve been so touched by how many of you have made your way to my Bandcamp page and purchased my digital albums there. I hadn’t mentioned it - but so many of you took it upon yourselves to go above and beyond to show that support. Thank you ❤️ xx #phildel #gratitude

Caves, moss, stone, darkness…all pieces of the next album puzzle…all elements to be translated into sound. I love how making music has always felt like solving a deeply fulfilling sonic puzzle…☺️🌼 finding my way through the musical labyrinth, guided by an inner knowing 🙌

I’ve been writing new songs for a good while and the time has come to share them with some fresh ears. I’m looking for a collection of listeners to have a listen to my new demo songs and give me feedback ☺️ this will help me choose the singles from the album body of work.

We’re told social media algorithms reward interaction. But for every enthusiastic commenter- there’s a number of silent audience. Silent or not, your presence, means so much to me. Thank you for being there. You’ve always been such an important part of this ❤️

As we creep towards the end of 2025…I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported my music this year 🙏❤️🌼 I also want to take this opportunity to send love & support to anyone who has lost someone they love this year, I know many of you have x See you in 2026 x

Tis Christmas Day where I am. My sons have only just gone to sleep at 1.40am…they have been so excited about Christmas 😅 Merry Christmas to all who partake, I hope you have delicious food in wonderful company 🙌 (and if you can’t stand your company - I wish u delicious food!? X

I get flight anxiety. On our last flight, my son Dylan detected it and during take-off said, “Mama, it’s ok. Here’s a joke for you-where’s the safest place to be in a plane crash?” Touched by a faint glimmer of hope I asked “Where?” He replied: “On the ground! Bahahaha!!!”🤦🏻‍♀️kids

Join me and contemporary dancer Pijus Kreivenas as we work on the choreography for the music video to my new song “Survive This” ☺️🙌 xx

So proud of all that this song has achieved in its short life xx

STRANGE SHIPS won’t let me sail out x open.spotify.com/track/77PCe…

Feeling like I’ve aged 10 years in a month, but I’ve still been signing every “Into the Woods” vinyl and CD for you ☺️❤️ Each one’s got my current, “I need a nap” signature - proof at least, that I haven’t started using a stamp! phildel1.bandcamp.com x

It feels sometimes, like a long walk home to regain your wellbeing and mental equilibrium after burnout. The reality of a few years, juggling music and motherhood. But some flickers of creative thinking are returning. Thanks to all of you who have supported me on the journey ❤️
