Written and recorded in London, the eight track Make ’Em Laugh, Make ’Em Cry, Make ’Em Wait is described in a press release as a hopeful and joyous album "devoid of any fat or filler" that does what it says on the cover.
Talking about how he came about the inspiration for the band's artwork, the Welsh singer revealed: "I went to New York, I visited some galleries, I saw ‘ART IS A GUARANTY OF SANITY’, a painting by Louise Bourgeois. She believed art was a form of mental healing and a way to process difficult emotions.
"The spelling caught me first, then the simplicity of the words etched onto a pink tile. So I tried scratching my title, inspired by my own art school teacher thirty years ago. And I loved it. I loved the simplicity of the pink. The pink album was born".
