The Album ['a Seat At The Table']

It Is Always An Honor To Work With Those That Share Your Passion For Music And Just Enjoy Making Great Music.

I Actually Love My Natural Hair When It's In A Twist Out And It's Been Slept On For Five Days And Revived By The Steam Of The Shower.

I've Also Learned To Only Write Songs And Melodies That Really Work For My Voice And That I Won't Have Issues Doing Live. Because You Can Get Really, Really Comfortable In The Comping Process: Out Of Five Takes, Maybe One Of Those High Notes That You Struggled To Do, Nailed It, And Then Live You're Having That Challenge Of Really Having To Recreate That.

I Always Have Looked At "indie" As A Term Of "independence." Never Associated A Sonic Gesture With That In The Same Way That Pop Music Has Always Meant "popular" To Me It Didn't Define A Sound. And I Think Now That Has Been The Context For Things. If Something Is Indie, It Almost Has This Sonic Association With It, Or Pop Has Become This Term Of Shame Almost, Like, Bubblegum Sweet Pop.

Our Mother Always Taught Us To Be In Control Of Our Voice And Our Bodies And Our Work, And She Showed Us That Through Her Example. If She Conjured Up An Idea, There Was Not One Element Of That Idea That She Was Not Going To Have Her Hand In. She Was Not Going To Hand That Over To Someone. And I Think It's Been An Interesting Thing To Navigate, Especially Watching You Do The Same In All Aspects Of Your Work: Society Labels That A Control Freak, An Obsessive Woman, Or Someone Who Has An Inability To Trust Her Team Or To Empower Other People To Do The Work, Which Is Completely Untrue.
