Let It Break is the fourth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes. It was released in Ireland on 27 May 2011. The album was recorded in Westland Studios in Dublin, Ireland, Black Box Studios in Noyant La Gravoyère, France and mastered at Golden Mastering in Los Angeles, CA.
Following the release of her third studio album, The Hollow of Morning in May 2008, Hayes confirmed she was working on some new material and aspired to release an acoustic album. During further promotional work and touring, Hayes confirmed that she had begun work on her fourth album in August 2008.
While recording for her fourth album, she produced tracks which later appeared on her EP Oliver. On 14 April 2009, it was announced on her Myspace blog that Hayes began to write newer material for the next album. On 3 September 2009, Gemma performed at the 2012 stage at the 2009 Århus Festival. Her set-list featured new songs Waiting for You and Shock To My System. On 20 October 2009, Gemma confirmed through her Twitter page that she was recording new material in France in the Blackbox studios.
On 19 November 2009, Gemma began a short European tour with performances in Austria, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. During these tour dates, Gemma played new songs including Tokyo (later 'Keep Running'), Waiting for You and Shock To My System. At her gig in Cork on 3 December, Gemma performed a cover of Kate Bush' Cloudbusting. On 22 December 2009, Gemma released her cover of Kate Bush' Cloudbusting available for free from her website. Hayes hinted on Irish music site Muzu TV that her yet-to-be titled fourth album would be released in September 2010.. However, in October 2010, on Tom Dunne's radio show on Newstalk 106-108, Gemma Hayes said that her new album would not be released until early 2011.
