Honest is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Kelly De Martino, released on 18 March 2008 by Le Village Vert. The album was supported by a month-long residency at the Bordello in Los Angeles in September 2007. A full European and North American tour followed at the beginning of 2008.[1]

Recording for the album started in RDPC Studios in Paris, France during the early part of 2006, with initial production duties being handled by Dominique Depret. Prior to the recording sessions officially starting, Kelly — along with her backing band — travelled to an unknown concert venue in Brussels to record live demos for tracks that would later appear on the album. While most of these tracks were to be re-recorded in studio when recording sessions officially started at a later date, a live demo of "Scared" recorded around this time would eventually be chosen, above a studio recording, for inclusion on the album.[2]
Several months after the RDPC sessions, recording for the album commenced in The Loft Studios in Los Angeles, with Evan Slamka taking over production duties. There, the remaining bulk of the album was recorded, along with a cover of the George Harrison-penned Beatles track Long, Long, Long, from The White Album. The final sessions took place from September 29th to October 1st 2006 at nearby Sun King Studio, recording the Evan Slamka-penned "Delilah," which features an appearance by former Urge Overkill member Johnny "Blackie Onassis" Rowan on drums.[2][1]
