Background

Regarding the album, Faustini said: "I'm such a positive person, and I like to smile even in tough times. This is what life is about for me - be kind to the people you love (and the people you don't), and always smile... In other words, give a little love!"[2]
Lead single "Give a Little Love" received its debut airplay on BBC Radio 2 on 2 June 2015.[4]
One of the songs on the album, "What Would Dusty Do", was co-written by The Voice UK finalist Vince Kidd.[5]
