Hi Amy, how are you? What have you been up to since our first interview?I am so good! These past few months have been incredibly rewarding. I’ve had the most fun getting to finally put out new music, and I’ve gotten to connect with lots of new people who have shared their own stories with me. I feel very grateful that these songs have been received so well.
"Call RN" is your new single - what's the story behind this song?
It happened super organically - I was working at my apartment, tweaking production for a different song, and it started raining. I think I just wandered over to the keyboard and started playing what would end up being the opening chords to “Call RN”. This song was never supposed to be released, but it resonated with a lot of my family and friends, and they encouraged me to put it out in the world.
Who helped you create this particular song?
I wrote and recorded it alone in a few hours. I love collaborating with other writers and producers, but this song felt precious, and I didn’t want to overcomplicate it. My friend Ciel Eckard-Lee did a great job with the mix. (For those of you who have been listening for awhile, he also mixed both of my Cinematic EPs.)
What do you like the most about this song?
This probably sounds cheesy, but I just really enjoy singing it. I feel like I can go to a place emotionally in this song that brings out the best in my voice and makes me feel empowered, even though I’m telling a sad story.
What made you want to release a ballad as a single?
The past three singles I’ve put out have been really bright and fun, and so with this one I wanted to show people another side of me. I’m that girl blasting “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles in my car with the windows down—sometimes all I need is a solid sad jam. I hope that “Call RN” can comfort people when they’re in one of those raw moments.
You're releasing your EP Fever Dream in January. How would you describe this project?
I wanted to put a complicated love story through the lens of a dream, and take the listener through the whole process of falling into it. The project opens on a track that sounds like what I imagine I hear when I’m falling asleep, and ends at the moment I wake up. I can’t wait for people to hear the project front to back, and to fully experience its narrative.
What are you the most proud of?
I think I am really learning my strengths as a writer and producer, and bringing in co- creators who balance out my weaknesses. I made a record that I love, and I didn’t have to sacrifice my vision because of my own musical blind spots. That’s something I have struggled to achieve for a long time. I’m grateful to everyone who was a part of this project and helped me make it the little gem that it is.
What biggest lessons have you learned this year?
How much time do you have? Seriously, I have learned more lessons this year than probably every other year of my life combined. I can’t take all the credit—I have a great therapist and an amazing group of people around me who help me stay self-aware. But I guess the main thing I have learned is that I don’t have control over anything except my own work ethic and attitude. It sounds simple, but I’ve spent most of my life fixating on tiny details and writing imaginary scripts for how I want future conversations to unfold. I’m still working on it, but I find that in the moments I truly let go, that’s when the magic happens. And I want more magic, always!
