I've written a few songs that have to do with being in a relationship, the bad and the good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.
When you write an album and you're writing about relationships, the stuff that I've been through in my relationships, 99 percent of it is really good, but it's that one percent that always inspires you to write a song.
Personal relationships are usually my biggest inspirations for writing my songs. The best way for me to write a song is to visualise the story in my head, and I start humming a melody, and before you know it, a song is born.
I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart.
Anxiety and spiritual searching have been consistent themes with me, and that figures into my worldview. But I tend to make my songs sound like relationship songs.
All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.
I think I bring the songs that aren't about me or related to me to life. It's like the song 'How Do I Let A Good Man Down?' Let me tell you, I didn't write that song - because if I have a good man, I ain't going to let him down.
A lot of songs are empowering because everybody who has been through a hard time in a relationship or in their lives can relate to it.
My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.
Writing music is such a freeing exercise, and it's really nice to play in that world of being confident, vengeful - getting back at all the bad boyfriends.
