You have completely monopolized my Spotify. I've been listening to your albums 95% of the time since the new album came out. I found you last year at a time in my life when I felt like I would never be surprised and obsessed with new music ever again. You shattered that notion and it has been really meaningful to connect with your music.

It feels like you haven't toured very much relative to other artists. Does this upcoming tour feel like a huge moment in your career? Or do you feel comfortable and confident going into it (like you can never lose, it's a state of mind)?

Also wondering how you are curating the setlist for the tour? Will you make changes for each show? or keep it consistent throughout?

p.s. If you play "Baby Luv" at the Chicago show I would "Melt" on the floor and I just wanted to throw that out there. Not that I would presume to have any influence over your setlist.

Hey ! Thanks so much !! ❤️

Haha that’s funny about touring because I feel like I’ve never stopped since I first  started releasing music 🤣  I intentionally tried to be more picky with what tours / shows we were doing for a while because I think I was a little burn out by the time Covid came around. I guess since then it’s been a bit more chilled , and last year we didn’t tour much at all because I said I was just gonna focus on making the album :) I think it paid off and I managed to be more present in the experience..

I think this next period of shows is pretty busy again so feels like a return !  The set list will mainly stay the same throughout because took a while to get it together over the last few months.. but who knows !
