I have put absolutely everything into my album. I feel like it's been such a long journey to get here. It is like giving birth to my first child, and I want to make sure I did everything right.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
An album is like a child and after a while I was ready to give birth!
With this new album, I prepared for it a long time, and I was happy with the songs and the production. I felt that I proved myself with the first album, and with this new album, I just want to share some of my music. And that was always my feeling and my intention.
A lot of my albums that I've done, a lot of the songs have been the first take. It's before you mess with it too much - you can take away all the spontaneity and the emotion of something by trying to make it sound perfect.
Obviously, with your first album, you want to make sure you are really happy with it.
When I want to check out how my life's been, I go through my albums. They steps in my life.
My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.
I think that all my albums are different enough where I don't feel like I did this the last time.
My first album done what it had to do. It introduced me.
I made an album I'm very proud of, and that's about it.
