"I don't like playing new songs before anyone knows the words," Faith told the Daily Star. "The crowds are all serious and listening, paying attention, whereas I like it when they sing along.
"There's no better feeling for a songwriter than having someone sing your lyrics back to you."
Faith recently confessed that she is nervous about the release of her new album, explaining: "I'm a little nervous, in the sense that when I released the first album I had nothing to lose."
The collection's lead single 'Picking Up The Pieces' is available to download now.
