At the beginning of this year I was like, “I want the chance to transform my trauma into something else and I want to give myself that opportunity, even if it’s painful.” But I’m excited to share “star-crossed” just because people know me to be a songwriter that writes about what I’m going through. And I think it would have been extremely awkward if I just acted like this last chapter didn’t happen for me. So I think you saw my highlight reel with Golden Hour. And this is the other side of that. And, I mean, there are beautiful parts of that, too.

[Guided psychedelic trips] are incredible. At the beginning of this year, I was like, “I want the chance to transform my trauma into something else, and I want to give myself that opportunity, even if it’s painful.” And man, it was completely life-changing in so many ways, but it also triggered this whole big bang of not only the album title, but the song “star-crossed,” the concept, me looking into the structure of tragedies themselves as an art form throughout time. It brought me closer to myself, the living thread that moves through all living things, to my creativity, the muse.
