My Happy Place
My Happy Place is the fourth studio album by British singer Emma Bunton. It was released on 12 April 2019 by BMG Rights Management. Her first album in over a decade, following Life in Mono (2006), the album was produced by Paul Meehan and Brian Rawling. It features ten tracks, including eight cover versions of some of Bunton's favourite songs and two original songs co-written by the singer.
The album received mixed reviews, with critics praising Bunton's warm vocals and standout originals like "Baby Please Don't Stop," but criticizing much of the cover material as dull and lacking personality. Commercially, My Happy Plac debuted and peaked at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart, marking her third non-consecutive top 20 entry, and also charted in the UK download, physical, sales, and independent charts, also reaching number seven on the Scottish Albums Chart.
The album was inspired by 1960's sounds, like motown and sixties pop. In January 2010, Bunton stated that she had no plans to record a new album. She stated that while she loves singing, in her view it takes a lot of time and work to promote an album, and said that she would rather focus her time on her son Beau, who was born in 2007. In February 2018, it was reported that Bunton was secretly recording new music.[deprecated source] Bunton officially acknowledged the fact that she was recording new music on This Morning in June 2018.
In November 2018, Bunton revealed that she had signed a record deal with BMG Rights Management and would be releasing a new album in 2019. The album was officially announced on 25 February 2019. Explaining the album's title, Bunton said: "The reason I called the album My Happy Place is because my happy place is with my family, with my friends, listening to music and being in the studio. All those things came together on this album. While recording it my kids came to the studio, my friends came down, my mum listened to every song over and over again. Being in the studio I just feel so happy".
"Baby Please Don't Stop" was released as the lead single from the album on 27 February 2019.
On 8 March 2019, the second original track "Too Many Teardrops" was released as a buzz track. The song was described as "a resilient breakup anthem that sees her moving on from a failed relationship".
A cover of the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell song "You're All I Need to Get By" was released as the album's second and final single from the album on 29 March 2019. An accompanying music video starring Bunton's husband Jade Jones who duets on the song with her, was released on 13 May 2019.
My Happy Place received mixed reviews upon release. Some critics praised the cheerfulness and maturity of the album, whilst others criticised that it lacked in personality.
