That's everything I've learned from this record. That makes it hard, because then people choose to ask you questions you don't want to be asked, but at the same time, it helps you grow.

You have to face things you're not comfortable talking about on a regular basis. I definitely think there's parts of music that have to be uncomfortable. You end up remaking your memories as something that you can listen to, that doesn't remind you of a negative time. I feel like I always was inspired to take things that I was going through that were more uncomfortable situations - not the brightest or the most positive - and musically shift the narrative. Everyone thinks of pop music as this really light, feathery-type of thing that's supposed to make us bop through life like everything's fine. Within that pop world, is there something you find comfortable, or maybe even something about it you find uncomfortable that you actively try to resist? There's certainly a freedom to creating those sounds in a pop context. That was very confusing, now that I listen back to it. I like the song to tell me what to make it, in a weird way. These things, they come in handy much later, but I never really like to tell a song what to be.

I did have "Almost Love" as a title in my phone for over a year, and then something happened in my life where I was sued, so, "Sue Me!" That's funny, maybe I'll use that one day. That's how so many of these songs and stories came to life.

I always have ideas in my phone and I write down things exactly how I feel in the moment because I know I'll need them later. I just like to talk, I like to see where the day takes us. I'm not going in with a specific word or concept. I feel like, personally, when I go to write a song or I'm in the studio, I'm not going in with a specific sound. Does creating such an album come naturally, or do you consciously pull from different areas of your life? It's an extremely varied pop record, and you have a lot of influences. When you said that you wanted each song to sound different, it comes through when listening. I'm so excited for everyone to finally hear it. Mentally, I'm already onto the next thing. It's not the end of this album cycle, because technically I'm just putting out this other half, so there will be so much life for it to live. I didn't want any song to sound like another song, but I wanted it to feel cohesive. Each and every song stands alone on both sides of the album. Those were also themes within the album that I decided I was ready to talk about in Act II. The way we digest music nowadays is at such a rapid pace that things get lost so easily. I had never really released an album in parts before, and I really wanted my fans to be able to hear each and every song. Singular was initially slated to all be one album of 16-17 songs. I feel that when I finished writing this record, this was kind of closing out a chapter of my life, in general, and musically, I think it's not a closing chapter, but the opening to whatever is coming next. I mean, to be honest, I literally just turned 20. What are you closing the door on with this record? It does not store any personal data.Let's start with the idea that Singular Act II is a conclusion to the first half.
