Hello.
Thank you for being here. It's
my pleasure. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited.
I am so excited.
Emotion is like seriously, I know we're here to talk about your new album, but I have to touch on emotion, which is my favorite album of all time.
I d I like I don't even know what to say to that. Thank you so so much.
And is it true that it was born you wrote it while you were in Cinderella?
It the yeah, that's how it started at least. I I was in the middle of singing really sweet, soft songs. Being a princess, which was lovely. And then in the evening I uh like late at night after that or sometimes during the day, I needed some I needed some percussion back in my life. I was listening to a lot of like Prince albums and I thought, the eighties, man. There's something about the eighties that is just so Hard on your slave, like cut to like all of the feelings and I I actually just said that, didn't I? Yeah, but but I wanted I wanted to go there. That's my
that's my favorite song.
Is it really? That is
my favorite song. Hers is uh Warm Blood.
Hey. I mean, yeah, no, I I really wanted to do something different. I always wanted to do something different. Same with day and night. It's it's just it's really exciting to kind of go explore a different sonic world than you've been in before.
Right. And 'cause I read that you were initially wrote like a folk album and then you scrapped it and then
It was kind of folky. It was a little like grungy. I don't know what it was. I I think I was rebelling calming maybe when I went into the studio right away. Which I think is a natural reaction.
