I didn’t feel seen or heard as the artist that I was, or at least wanted to be, and I was afraid that if I revealed that part of myself that no one would accept it.” .at the time you registered HopesI totally thought it would be the last thing anyone would hear from me. Somehow, though, this record cleared a new chapter for me.”
