“I feel the music should speak for itself. It’s been a long time coming and we are finally here. I wanted my album to be a compilation of a playlist that I could listen to as well as the next person and so the process to curate the songs was meticulous and diligent. “Stop” is about understanding one’s purpose and role and how indispensable you may be.”

She uses a cellphone charger as a metaphor of reference. ‘I’m tired of being a power source and I’m left empty and seeing how it affects me. It’s a feel good song,’ she says.

“You have to understand your self-worth and act on it. You’re your own biggest resource. The universe will return the frequencies you send out. Music is so delicate and open to interpretation, but the emotions I evoke will be felt.”
