Reflections is the debut studio album by British singer and visual artist Hannah Diamond. It was released on 22 November 2019 via PC Music.
Reflections initially was intended to be released as an EP in late 2016 with its lead single being "Fade Away", which was released on 7 October 2016. Following the announcement of the EP, Diamond released "Make Believe" on 23 December 2016. She continued to hint at new music throughout 2017 and 2018, telling fans via social media that new music would be imminent.
A mix titled Soon I Won't See You at All was released on 13 December 2017, produced entirely by A.G. Cook and featured three songs which would also be featured on Reflections. The three tracks were "Never Again", "Concrete Angel" (a cover of a song by Gareth Emery) and "The Ending".
"True" was released as the official lead single from the album on 16 November 2018. It was released alongside a lyric video featuring a typeface Diamond made herself. The track received attention for its more emotional sound; regarded by Matt Moen of Paper Magazine as "weaving sentimentality and emotion through a landscape of digital disconnect and jaded apathy". In press releases, it was stated that Reflections would be released in early 2019, however this did not come to fruition.
"Invisible" was released as the album's second single on 30 October 2019, alongside a music video directed by Daniel Swan & Hannah Diamond. On the same day, it was announced that Reflections would be released on 22 November 2019, and the cover art for the album was also revealed. On the following day, her first headlining tour "The Invisible Tour" was announced in support of the album. It began on 4 December 2019.
"Love Goes On" was released as the album's third single on 13 November 2019, alongside a music video directed by Vasilisa Forbes.
The tracklist of Reflections was revealed via Diamond's social media on 21 November 2019.
Vinyl versions of the album were announced in November 2019 for later release, and was later announced in January 2020 that they were up for pre-order and would be released in sometime in 2020. On 22 April 2020, Diamond released an EP of remixes of songs from the album.
Reflections is a pop, trance, and bubblegum pop record, with elements of breakcore, happy hardcore, Eurodance, synthwave, electro house, and techno. The album explores themes of heartbreak and human emotions, in contrast to the robotic aesthetic crafted by Diamond early on in her career. It was described by one critic as a "breakup album". The album's sound has been compared to the works of Charli XCX, Sarah Bonito, Caroline Polachek, Imogen Heap, and Porter Robinson.
