(Theres a reason Im your ex-girlfriend, she coos.
But stillyou gotta be missing me.)
Yeah, I was busy, she says, laughing.

Not too busy, however, to worry that her 2 p.m. slot would mean nobody would show up.
So that was a nice surprise.
I wanted it to be very me.

Very de Casier, perhaps, but with a slightly surrealist touch.
I really liked how that felt.
I think when I’m making music, I always feel very confident about it, she says.

Im critical in my process, of course, but its a natural kind of criticism.
I never say no in the creative processits always, Yes, lets try it!
Even if it feels a bit silly.

Its a free-form approach she inherited from her heroes.
Its not the end of the world if everything you make isnt amazing.

But I also called itStillbecause its a still image of where I was at the time I made it.
Like, its not that deep.
Now, shes ready to take the album on the road.
But generally speaking, I like feeling a little more extra, but still feeling really comfortable.

Its just the gift that keeps on giving.
De Casiers loyaland rapidly growingfanbase will agree.
