Discovered: Kanga What if I just just write?

Beat / Most of the material on Under Glass is essentially love songs – a very typical pop song topic.

Kanga / Well, to be blunt about it, Under Glass was the first album I’ve ever written where I wasn’t actively “in love” during the process.

Beat / That comes as a real surprise to me.

Kanga / My mind was so obsessively cluttered with love and heartbreak for so long that now I feel like I had some breathing room to think about other things. Don’t get me wrong, I think love and heartbreak is an endless well of creative inspiration, but I needed to see if I could be creative without that as the sole driving force. I was actually sort of concerned going into the writing of this record because I was scared that I might have lost “it” - the source of my creativity - and I didn’t know if I could step it up without that driving factor.
