What inspired you while you were recording Serial Romantic?

The situations, emotions and issues I experienced with the lovers I was singing about. Musically, I was listening to a lot of Donny Hathaway when it came to the ballads, and ghettotech was a big inspiration for the more upbeat songs. Those two different worlds shaped the sound and emotion of the album.

What inspired you while you were recording American Stories?

I was definitely inspired by taking road trips in America. Driving for me is a chance to listen to music that’s a work in progress. It’s a chance to enjoy something before it’s done, and sometimes a chance to make it better.

What’s your favorite moment on “Leak It?”

The middle eight. The song originally had a much simpler bridge. We knew it needed to be a vocal-girl-group moment. We went in with [songwriter-producer] Oak Felder, and he made it what it is today. We lost our minds when we heard it back!

What inspired you while you were making “SUPERESTRELLA?”

I was listening to a lot of different music, but I remember being very inspired by ABBA and also by artists like Chappell Roan. I really wanted a lot of synths and for that part of the album to feel brighter and more fun.

It was actually important for me because I had written so many sad songs at that point. I was going through a difficult time personally and everything I was writing was coming from that place. At some point I was like, okay, I also need to make songs that make me feel good. “SUPERESTRELLA” came from wanting to find that light again.
