It was a definite decision with the first album to write an autobiography, to put together songs that were very real. I was very inspired by Tapestry by Carole King for the feel of the first album. I thought a good way of introducing myself was just to say, “This is my take on me and my life and other people,” and make it personal. I feel that on the second record, I can broaden a bit. I think my greatest fear at this point is stagnation and repetition. So my goal with this next record is truly achieving what I feel is possible.
