“Now that I’m in a relationship with another musician he’s influenced me a lot with his process and how he and his band work,” she told the outlet. “It’s really different to how I work and that has definitely influenced me and my process. I used to be very, ‘Quick, quick, quick, album a month, let’s go.’ Now I’m like, ‘Oh, maybe it’s cool to take some time and live in the music that you create.’ My process is definitely evolving.”
The “Beg for You” artist also opened up about how “in love” she is in a February 2023 interview with theSydney Morning Herald.
