Janet Devlin Autobiography and Album Releases www.janetdevlin.com "You’re holding my life in your hands. Not the picture-perfect version we’ve all become accustomed to thanks to social media. This is my life as I’ve lived it – no filters.” Janet Devlin Out to coincide with the release of her long awaited second album ‘Confessional’ on the same day, Janet Devlin will publish her autobiography My Confessional on May 1st through Omnibus Press. Pre-orders for the book and the album are available from Friday 7th February. Pre-order My Confessional HERE Pre-order / pre-save Confessional HERE In My Confessional Janet reveals a life less ordinary, as unpredictable as it is true, as timely as it is vital. Chronicling her decade long battle with demons in prose as enchanting as her lyrics, My Confessional - published by Omnibus - is a collection of 12 chapters that dive into the subjects that made her the strong and independent artist she is today. A chronological account of Janet’s school years from her high profile and successful tenure on The X Factor, right up to the release of her second album, My Confessional represents an end and a beginning, it is the story that releases Janet from her struggles of the past and offers her hope for the future. Janet explains, "Believe it or not, you’re holding my life in your hands. Not the picture-perfect version we’ve all become accustomed to thanks to social media, this is my life as I’ve lived it with no filters. Each chapter in my book unlocks the truth behind a song from my new album Confessional. They span ten years of intense self discovery married with a lot of self sabotage. My broken brain has taken me to dark places both in my own head and in the real world. But thankfully with destruction comes creation.” Through her YouTube channel she shares with her 525k followers, Janet posts original music, cover versions, vlogs, poetry, and regularly discusses a variety of subjects including mental health, sexuality and bullying. She has established a large and devoted fanbase, all of whom are eagerly awaiting her new music and accompanying book. Janet’s long-awaited new album ‘Confessional’ is a collection of 12 confessions. These sumptuous pop-folk melodies tell the extraordinary adventure of Janet’s journey from a shy and isolated teenager in Gortin, Northern Ireland to the mature, honest and distinctive artist that stands and sings proudly today.
