I started writing songs after my father died when I was 13. I used music to release the sadness that was flooding my heart and held on to my guitar like it was a float in an ocean. As an artist, Iâve always wanted to provoke chills, because to me that means Iâve connected with the spirit thatâs giving me the music.
Iâve become known as a purveyor of sad songs, but this album is different. Life and motherhood have changed me. Iâve realised that so many things I used to lose sleep about donât really matter. Melodies were coming to me that sounded heavenly and blissful. Long chapters of my life have been very hard, so I thought, what if I just freeze, yâknow, this joy?
