Well, I think that question changes based on what you're missing at the moment and what the thing you want at the moment. So your album is called When I Close My Eyes. Say you close your eyes and you can open them to see anything or anyone, what do you see? It was like the coolest, most collaborative thing, ever! So, I just had a blast and you can tell how much fun we had making the album. So, I don't have a ton of friends in the music industry in New York, so it was like, "Holy cow!," when I got to spend a whole week with other artist friends of mine. I also feel like my circle of friends has always remained kind of consistent since I was in middle school. I live in New York and there's not a huge writing scene here. I can definitely say there is nothing more fun than spending a week with some of your best friends, writing music. ayokay's parents have a house there and they were generous enough to let us set up shop there for a bit… and Quinn XCII actually wrote his album in that house and kind of convinced me to come out and write a lot of my album there as well. We spent a couple weeks in Newport, Rhode Island. I'm really fortunate that I was able - for the first time in my life, actually - to get in the room with an extended period of time with them, to write. I definitely could not have made this album without those relationships. Tell me about the importance of those relationships in regard to the creation of your new album. You have a great history of collaboration and authentic friendships. There's contemplation for everyone on it. I think there is so much time to reflect and think, so I feel like I explored a lot of different things when I was writing, rather than writing specifically about one theme. When I Close My Eyes, sonically, there is much more cohesion and conceptually, it's a bit more all over the map, because I think that we all felt a crazy amount of emotion in the last year-and-a-half, two years. I think the really cool thing about this album versus How To Be Human is that How To Be Human was a really, really concept-based album. Walk me through the concept of When I Close My Eyes. But, yeah, I'm feeling good, I'm a little tired, but I am so excited for the album to come out. I just moved right before I left for tour, so yesterday I had a ton of furniture delivered because it was like my first day home… Then I went and saw Holly Humberstone, and then today, I'm like, "Why have I done all of this?" I am so tired and I should have taken a beat to relax. I got back from tour on Monday night and I went straight to a LANY concert yesterday.
