So she's yeah, basically me, the track list um is a progression of like, you know, kind of more like cute to you, whatever, like hey Amelia, like my partner was being annoying today and then it's like, I don't even know who I am anymore, you know? So it's kind of a progression like that and you can see like, like my, you know, my brain kind of weakens over the project and like I kind of weakened as a person because I'm like just have put so much stress and pain on myself, so pretty dark but.

I think that, um, for those songs that just really led to the message, like for for, uh, we'll make this. Okay, um, the other one that was just, like fun. I was like, This is a fun like I wanted to like more of, like, a kind of dancing fun song and like, That's just what that was in the content. Felt like it needed that, Um, it's kind of a juxtaposition. And then with Amelia, it's like the The electronic parts are like telling the story on top of the lyrics, like how it works. He's kind of describing before, but like the progression of the song, it's like the vote gets higher every course and it's a call and response. So it's me talking to a million a million talking to me on the courses. And as the boat goes up, it's like supposed to symbolize losing or like forgetting someone's voice because once they've gone, you know it's hard to latch onto those things and really remember. So, um, that's the electronic elements of that song. I kind of used to symbolize that

Oh, in in Italy, I had to take a Sip of water in between one of my songs. It was silent on stage and the whole crowd starts singing to me In italian saying you're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful. And I was like, what are you saying? The whole crowd was like a choir. I'd never heard it before. I was like, my guy in my ear was like, they're, they're saying you're beautiful and I'm like, what just happened? I've never experienced a crowd Just singing a song during A concert, like That.

I'm a country girl, kidding. Um No, my my uh my brother introduced me to country music, I was always like the biggest hater on country music. I was like, this is terrible, turn it off. Um Until me and my brother became friends finally, and he started showing me his music and he was like, just listen to the lyrics and you'll understand how good the stories are. The country, country writers know how to write a good story, and uh I basically just like fell in love with how they wrote songs. Um and that's that's kind of how I approach my my songwriting. Sometimes, it would always be like, oh, it's just like a country music flip at the end of the chorus, and that's what's going to punch people in the gut. Um which I’m I'm really intrigued, by.

so Jordon Manswell and Zach Simmonds of course are like the at its core and then um homie, Bryan, Bryan Allen, who I started working with more and then um I've had the privilege to work with. There's a I've had the privilege to work with Clairmont the Second who's like a rapper in the city. Um Boi-1da who's like the best producer in the world in my opinion. Um Don Mills just like some really really good collaborators that kind of helped me also like step away from what I believed to be the only type of music I can really make. I think that's why you have probably been able to like hear new sounds from me as well. It's like collaborating with you know different people. But then at the end of the day it comes back to me, Zach and Jordon and Brian and we like making our own again.

you've done E. P. S. Right? E. P. After E. P. How come? Why are we doing EPs and not albums? Bro, I wasn't I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. Yeah I'm still like I've been saying this to to the homies. Like I feel like if we were to make this if we were to compare making music to like skateboarding just because my friends like skate um the parallel is the past couple of years I've been learning to ride, I've been learning to do tricks and when it's album time it's like I'm going to give you a whole run like I'm gonna give you back to back from the kick flip to like a five stairs. Like I'm going to give you something that you cannot believe that I made you're gonna be like what? And I um I feel like I'm almost there. I feel like people need a few projects before they can get to some. Maybe I'm overthinking the concept of an album but I feel like it's got to be a body of work for me that stands the test of time. I do believe that my previous projects including this one are like I'm very excited about them, I'm very excited about them more. So it's um I'm still trying to figure it out. We’re always trying to figure out at the end of the day
