About the album, Lamb said "Andy was very inclusive and wanted not just my opinion but the opinions of the other musicians in the room. We recorded it all organically, all in the same room. Then we'd play back the take and say, 'What could we change? You could add a drum fill here. I might try this different bass line here.' It was very much a group effort, this album."[6] Broken Lines peaked at number 15 on the ARIA Charts.
Lamb released her fourth studio album Truth on 30 September 2022. The album was produced by Stuart Stuart and was recorded remotely. Lamb said “When writing the songs for this album, I wanted to challenge myself whilst being entirely true to myself. I wanted to go deeper and more personal than I’ve ever gone before. This album is definitely about me growing as a person and an artist. I have written the songs on this album from life experiences, my heart and my truth."[7]
