“I feel like this album is so ME. I have never been more comfortable musically, lyrically or vocally. I feel like I have finally grown into the music I always wanted to do and now I don’t only hear it in my head, I have found the right people to help me get it out of my head and onto records. It’s an incredible representation of heartaches I’ve experienced and emotions I’ve had,” the singer said in a press release.
