Here's what she had to say!
What do you want listeners to know about the EP?
Something listeners might not know is how long this project took to come together and how much of a journey these songs were from start to finish. Much like my previous EP, some of the songs were written several years ago and have been previously released in other forms. I wrote the first verse and chorus of “Back In Time” in middle school, then finished the song in college a few years ago. “Violet” and the chorus of “High School” were written when I was actually in high school. I’ve released versions of “Back In Time,” “Violet,” and “California King” in the past (which I later took down with the intention of improving and re-releasing them). It took many iterations (and many talented collaborators) to get them to the more polished state that you hear on the EP!
How does this EP compare to your previous work?
It’s more glittery, synthy, and dance-y than anything I’ve released before! I feel like my previous EP drew a lot of inspiration from music I listened to as a young kid (in the early-mid 2000s), and this one kind of comes next chronologically—it reminds me a lot of the music from when I was in middle school in the early 2010s. It’s also a lot more queer, both in lyrical content and musical influence, representing my coming to terms with my sexuality throughout my teenage years and even in the past few years.
