On February 16, she released the first single "Hopeless Romantic" with the music video from the new album, followed by, the second single "Best You Ever" was premiered exclusively on Consequence of Sound on March 2nd.
She will be performing to promote the new album at The Lexington in London, UK on March 22nd.
About the new song "Best You Ever", she told Consequence of Sound;
"I wrote this song with one of my close friends Amy Kuney and our friend Harlan Silverman. Amy was also going through a breakup and she said, 'What if you wrote a letter to the person telling them that they’re making a huge mistake and one day they’re going to regret it?' So that’s how the song started."-
She stated about the new album with producer Patrick Carney;
"I knew Patrick was a really talented producer from early Black Keys stuff and other projects he’s had his hand in. I asked him to produce because I really wanted this record to sound like a band. The drums and bass had to be the main foundation to balance out the feminine lyrics. Being in a romantic relationship just makes it a safe zone to bounce off ideas. It’s been really creatively inspiring for me being in a relationship with Patrick. I’ve never met anyone so supportive and encouraging." - "Hopeless Romantic"
