“How do I bring that up with him?
I’ve never really been so revealing in a song.
I feel like it’s a criticism of him, but it’s not meant to be.

The Rayna situation last season?

I’ve never sobbed like that at a TV program!
It’s made me make a run at write and perform better.
I’m also enthralled by [the city] it’s this club I really want to get into.
I kind of wish I made country music.
“Wildest Moments"was an attempt at country ignore the production.
I’d really love to hear Rayna Jaymes sing it.
Knopf
And he was like, “No, they suck.”
I think I’d lost a little bit of myself.
I’d forgotten who I was and what actually people liked about me.
Pinkberry
I don’t need to to try and strive for the “hits.”
I wrote"First Time"on my first session back after that.
Should we go to the cinema?”
Columbia Records
She became a really important reference for this record.
I love the simplicity of her lyrics.
There’s also such character in her voice and the way she performed.

She didn’t give a sh, and I think that’s quite admirable.
Something just came over her on stage she seems possessed by her music when she’s playing.

This book was a reassuring pat on the back.

It was a real novelty, and I absolutely abused it.
I spent so much money.
She’s this little rebel.
She’s fing cool, she’s opinionated, she’s got amazing taste, she’s ridiculously talented.
I learned a lot from her, and it was a real pleasure to write with her.
I’m glad she’s doing the artist thing.
I loved the musicality on that record.
She executed that so brilliantly.
It’s a part of this record now.
You see it in my"Selfish Love"video.
It’s a really amazing film, and it’s got this real dark humor about it.
Tilda’s the queen.
Majorca, Spain
We shot the album cover there at this incredible house called the Neuendorf House.
I was doing my house up the year before and got really into interiors and exteriors.
I was really obsessed with buildings like the National Theater in London.
It was a lot of late nights, breastfeeding or being up with the baby while scrolling on Instagram.
I really didn’t want the cover to be all about my face.
I also really wanted a European element to it.
Maybe because of Brexit happening?
