“Rise of the Phoenix’ is a song about rebirth after a dark time, I finished writing it when I was in the old town of southern Portugal. I got really inspired by the cobbled streets and the old untouched buildings.”

“One day after one particularly ridiculous session, I literally thought what the fuck am I doing here so just left, and started using what I’d learned writing songs for myself.”

“My music is essentially an extension of the voice inside of my head,” she admits. “In social settings, it was like I was exploding inside, because of how I much I felt like I didn’t belong. I was miserable. I learned there was no way around these inner battles—only through them. I didn’t become confident in who I am by denying the shit I’ve gone through, I’ve had to own it. I came to terms with my issues through making music.”

“You’re With Somebody Now’ came from a period where I was looking to the past for answers, and I found them. Lewis Gardiner (producer and co-writer) has a talent for tapping into truth. So this song comes from an honest place of pain and realisation.”

“I really just wrote how I felt at that time. I lost someone I cared about and it was sad, that’s basically it. I think most people (including myself) overthink so much when trying to write a sad/love song. Thinking of smart ways to say simple things, thinking too much into it when sometimes all you need to do is say how you feel and that’s what I did. I really wanted people to listen to it and relate to it.”

Downtempo Danish pop, which while is sung in its home language, still portrays a strong essence of melancholy.

“Say too Much’ is about falling out of love, whilst still loving that person you’re with. It’s about staying in something when you know you should leave but it being the most difficult thing to do. You can end up staying and hurting each other by saying things you don’t mean, or telling them you love them, but not actually feeling it anymore, which can be even more damaging.”
