“A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative. Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world.”
She goes on to thank a number of people who helped her on her musical journey including Jay-Z, her parents, her Uncle Jonny who introduced her to music which inspired the album and her children:
“I want to give a special thank you to Rumi, Sir and Blue for allowing me the space, creativity and inspiration.”
