Hello! I'm Tommy Reilly is the second album by Tommy Reilly, following his departure from A&M Records. It was released on June 14, 2010. The album was produced by Roddy Hart, who joined Tommy on his tour for Words On The Floor.

Background

Prior to the recording of the album, Reilly was dropped by label A&M Records, and signed a deal with Euphonios. The album was produced by friend and fellow musician Roddy Hart, and was recorded in his "mum and dad's attic".

Talking about recording the new album, Tommy said:

"We ended up parting ways with A&M, which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
"I thought it would be harder to make the next album but a lot of the same people are on board. My manager and press team, promoters and radio pluggers are still working with me.
"The new album is more grown-up and bits of it are heavier lyrically. It is all about the mad things I had to deal with last year.
"The new label is great. I didn't want people to wait too long for the follow-up to the first one."
