gooooooooooooodmorning/afternoon/evening whenever you’re reading this!
It’s OUT! Starlet, my brand new EP, is out everywhere now. (u can click here to listen or here to watch the super hot and sexy visualizer for Brand New Bitch)
This EP comes exactly a year after Tove Lo and Flume posted this to instagram:
Naturally, that day, I ran to my email and sent them a long playlist of unreleased googly tracks. Now, exactly one year later, my brand new EP is out, and I’m signed to Tove Lo’s Pretty Swede and Neon Gold Records.
COINCIDENCE???? ;)
There’s obviously some DELICIOUSLY good stories between that email 12 months ago and today. You’ll have to patiently wait for those. 💓 For now….. back to the EP
I’m feeling incredibly grateful to the people who helped bring this project to life, and also towards myself. I even bought myself a few gifts to celebrate the day: a small spa kit, satin lounge set, electric kettle, and a tea sampler. That should tell you essentially everything about me at this point, ahaha. I mean, my ideal plan for release night was to get high and watch “Where Michelin-Starred Restaurants Get Their Ingredients” before passing out at 9pm. (edit: it was fantastic and enlightening)
Jokes-that-are-not-jokes aside, I’ve been trying to do more for myself on release days. Less to celebrate something being released and more to honor the hours and hours and hours of work I’ve poured into each song. This EP was another 100 percenter - everything you hear I made entirely!!! I’m so proud of it.
And the cherry on top of that is YOU guys ALSO made me feel so celebrated. Thank you for listening to Starlet, for sharing it, for engaging with me in all the ways you do. I hope the songs weave themselves into your stories, too. There’s so many of you who have been here from the start, watched me burnout like a mf, and then stuck around and helped me rebuild. And now, there’s so many of you who just joined in the journey and are getting to enjoy this new era with me as a signed artist. I’m crossing my fingers that this is the start of something new for us, but I’m feeling pretty at peace regardless.
Thank you so much. :)
Starlet’s 6 songs span 6 different emotions: pain, hope, confidence, affection, disappointment, and loneliness. Aside from the singles: I think Steady was my favorite to make and has the biggest heart of googly, Waste of Conversation was the hardest, SSPP was the fastest, and Brand New Bitch felt the most sonically exciting. And this is the first ever googy project to be MIXED! Can you tell? (yes) How does it sound to you? What’s been your favorite? I still wanna gab about it!!!!!!
There’s more ground to cover across these songs, but I’m sure we’ll get into the meat of em over the coming weeks. For now, I hope you’re enjoying them. I’m so eager for what lies ahead, even if it’s nothing more than me making music. and that’s how I know it’s different this time. :) glad you’re here for it.
