“I am so excited to finally have new music. I was lucky enough to have an amazing tour from my last album, and it feels like it’s been forever, but I really had a blast writing the songs, making the music, takin’ my time, ’cause I wanted it to be perfect, and I feel like we’re there. So, it’s very exciting for me to just have new stuff to sing.”
