And then I was literally like, Oh my God, no, its actually not ready.
I couldnt see the forest from the trees in terms of what was good and what wasnt.
And it did mean that so many songs were overlooked and unfinished.

It was a really sad process, to be honest.
I just started playing them.
Ive done a lot of support shows so far and havent released music.
You were taking feedback from the fans, too.
Some thought the studio version snippet was missing the kick of the live version.
The demo, to me, was always really dark and moody and driven by this subby bass.
Its almost like DJs or rappers.
They would come straight out the studio and test a song in a club and see how it feels.
In a way, it feels like that process in a kind of pop version.
I think its been such a grieving process for so many of these other songs.
I know Im going to walk back into the studio now with a lot more authority and excitement.
Before, I was just so scared.
Its kind of just there.
Again, its a bit of an experiment, so its not that defined in any kind of spot.
I think now Im just in a spot where the pressures off.
The debut album suffocating cloud is gone now.
Ive been a fan of Sabrina for time.
Then Id yell these songs with however many girls that are in the room.
Then Id see Sabrina and hang out.
It just felt like a real solidifying, empowering experience.
Empowering and girlhood feel like buzzwords, but its true.
Its like, whats the single?
Is it artsy enough?
All of the seriousness of it, I think the last few weeks have taken that all out.
I go up, I have fun.
I sing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
I try out a new song.
Then go and dance with all the girls in the room.
Its the purest form of joy that music should bring to people.
