I'm Sorry, Now Say It Back is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Thelma Plum. The album was released on 18 October 2024 through Warner Music Australia.[1]
Upon announcement on 22 August 2024, Plum said that it was "created with love, heartache, forgiveness and care in mind. It's personal and kind of like I'm sharing pages from my diary with you, but it's time for it to fly free."
Critical reception
Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen from The Guardian said "The Gamilaraay musician's second album is filled with light and shade, resilience and humour – though it doesn't quite match the highs of her debut."[2]
AAA Backstage said the album "showcases Thelma's growth as an artist and storyteller, weaving together tales of heartbreak, love, and personal reflection."[3]
