Proud is the story of the golden child archetype, VanderWaal said in a statement.
A child who neglects their needs so you can be seen as valued, loved, or mature.
As a kid, you have an undying need for validation, VanderWaal said.
Grace VanderWaal will release her second studio album Childstar on April 4Ally Chen
In some cases, you abandon yourself, and you arent granted what you need mentally.
Youre choosing to be strong, only because its your responsibility to be strong.
Youre adopting strength when its not appropriate.
Proud follows the release of Babydoll, VanderWaals collaboration with the viral star Aliyahs Interlude.
It also accompanies the announcement of a brief tour through North America beginning May 4.
Childstarmarks the first full-length LP from VanderWaal since she released her debut albumJust the Beginningin 2017.
For a long time, I felt stolen.
My face, my name, my body, she shared on Instagram.
I wrote and created my dream album/project, CHILDSTAR, as a means of processing those experiences.
I am so proud of this body of work I literally put all my tears into every word.
A lot of people feel close to my story and nostalgic for my past.
