Data Insight
Eight of the thirteen tracks are hers alone and one carries no credit for her at all, the first time that has happened outside a covers record. John Shanks produces and writes with her on several, which is a different way of making one of these albums.
Lucky came out on Island in February 2004 and runs 54 minutes across thirteen tracks. It is her first album with a large number of co-written songs.
