I'm as excited about this album as, as I've ever been.
It's the only record I've ever recorded that I didn't immediately say.
Now I know what I want to do.
It's the first time, like when I left the studio, we recorded this whole album in New York back in October in seven days.
And when I left, I was like, yes.
I think I just was able to kind of, out of pure luck, rope the best version of myself at the right time.
And I flew from the last... We'd been on tour all year, the Burn It Down tour, and I flew from the last show of the tour in... I think we were in South Lake Tahoe and flew to New York on a Sunday.
And for the next seven days, we cut that album.
And so I was just like...
but I'd been, I, I showed up with like this crazy, I just was as focused and as bought in and as just prepared, but also had no idea what I was doing.
Just said this perfect storm of the scenario when we recorded this record.
And it's like really hard for me to like get that version of myself every time I cut a record.
Um, cause I do tour a lot and I tour hard and I liked, I like to work hard.
I like to earn it.
You know, I never wanted anybody to say I didn't earn every single thing.
And, and I still am that way.
Still always say, still trying to make it.
Um, but I just, when I got to New York, I was, you know, I was just dialed in.
