![]() ![]() The deeper voice effect that carries throughout the album, what inspired it and can we expect this to continue in Alchemical: Volume 2? “Sand” ties in with “Fragile Things” – they’re sort of sister tracks where “Fragile Things” is the processing of the fall out of the relationship and “Sand” is the other side where I realized that I was maybe correct about this from the beginning. That’s what a lot of the first half of the record is. These things were very difficult to acknowledge when you’ve spent your life in the public eye. I decided at one point to give myself space to be a human being and not an idea of a human being. Not including the singles from last year, I was nervous writing the remaining four tracks, but I was also relieved. It was pure child-like joy as we were messing around in the studio seeing how far we can push it. “Lethal Woman” and “White Glove” are so experimental, messy, crazy and fun. I think that I was really nervous to finally sit down and write a lot of these tracks. No matter how much I gave, it didn’t result in the security or the long lasting quality that I was hoping a relationship would take on. It’s pretty easy to listen to the record and know what I’m talking about or find context for a lot of things that I’ve never been able to talk about – especially with tracks like “God’s Game” being so clearly about an emotional volatile and abusive relationship or tracks like “Sand” which is about a different kind of relationship that was very loving but could never quite become solid – it was always slipping through my fingers because this person could just not love me as much as I loved them. I wanted to give people context of these things that have happened very publicly. It was really a cathartic experience to write this first half of the record that feels like I finally gave myself the grace and opportunity to be really, truly vulnerable for the first time.
