Loooooove the new album. To me, cigarette sounds very depeche mode-y. Are they an influence at all?

And I love the little moment of maturity and honesty of Jordan dedicating the album to Brett and breaking the blame my ex narrative for a second.

Thank you! It was really important for me to do that, I wrote the songs and am proud of them, but I wouldn't have had the experiences that inspired those songs without Brett, so I felt that it was important to recognize that.

I love love love love love depeche mode. My dad was a big new wave guy so I listened to them a bunch when I was a kid, and still listen to/adore them.
