Sunsets & Full Moons is the sixth studio album by Irish rock band The Script, released 8 November 2019 through Sony Music Entertainment.[3] It was supported by the lead single "The Last Time". The Script embarked on a European tour in 2020 in promotion of the album, with Becky Hill acting as a support act.[4] It was the last studio album to feature guitarist Mark Sheehan before his death in 2023.

Background

[edit]

The band consider the album to be a sequel to their self-titled debut album, released in 2008, as both were "written and recorded following traumatic personal events" for lead singer Danny O'Donoghue, whose parents both died ten years apart. O'Donoghue called the album the "most poignant record we've ever made", and said "Our music was always about being together with the audience, and writing about your own feelings, and sharing them."[5]
