Q&A

Neptune City was very much an album of place. The title suggests Italian Ice may be too…

It wasn’t really intentional. I think because was the first record I wrote, it was from a position of just really enjoying making music and being excited about it and this record is the first one I’ve made since then that wasn’t coming from a place of turmoil and struggle. I didn’t feel like I had anything to prove and I had a place to live, a good relationship and good friends. But inand , there’s something about New Jersey that I’ve always come back to with my writing. It’s just this beautiful, magical place in my mind. was the first thing to come out since I moved to Nashville and it was really frustrating reading “New Jersey singer finds her country roots”. And it was like, no, that’s not what this is at all. The honesty of it is my husband’s from Fife and he moved to New Jersey to be with me. And New Jersey’s not a place to make friends when you’re older. So he said, “Let’s move somewhere where we can make friends together, that’s cheap.” So, Nashville!
