I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.

I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.

I don't ever land on an album title until I know exactly what's going on the record, because you never know until it's all said and done.

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.

I had deeper, more reflective songs on the first album.

With the first album, I wanted to do so many different things, and I was fighting with myself to try and see if I was worthy enough to do it.

The first album was a very successful record. It made me very visible and it's an immediate association, but I don't do that anymore. Now I'm true to myself as an artist again. I'm more vocally oriented.

I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.

I've done a lot of albums and I kinda know when I'm onto something that was inspirational for me to record and create, and this was one of those projects where I really enjoyed making the album.
