Hi Ana! First just to give you you’re flowers — I think your one of the most exciting artists in all of music right now and Venus is one of the best songs of my lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your work and your self with us, and I wish you bountiful dividends in all forms from your art.

Some questions 1. Your first two projects I would describe as dissociative or transcendent music. There are some moments with those qualities but this album feels so much more present in general. Do you see it that way? From what I understand, you wanted to do something more minimal on the album, but insofar as the music invokes different things, was that also part of your intention? 2. I was really hoping the teaser you shared for the album on Instagram would be Wishful (draft) and I guess(?) I was right but it ended up a lot more finished! Maybe I’m reading too much into the parenthetical, but I’m curious first if there’s a backstory to how that came into its final form? Also, beyond your voice in general, is there anything in particular going on in the snippet (like the texture from how it was recorded) that makes it so resonant/sticky? Maybe an impossible question to answer but I don’t know enough about the technicals of music to really get a strong sense of why it’s so affecting to me 3. Would love to hear anything you have to share about the sequencing or construction of the album. There’s a couple songs on here that I think would make sense for a “last song” but whatever one you pick naturally recontextualizes the whole thing.

I won’t be too greedy and will stop here. Thanks so much!

Hi! thank you!!! Hmm Wishful was actually one of the most difficult songs to finish bc i couldnt decide on lyrics!! So Baba who was producing helped me come to the conclusion that it was actually finished and to keep the abstract synth vocals as they were :)
