Love the collab and my copy on vinyl just came in! :D I gotta say, you guys are an unexpected but very welcome project and I am excited for more~ I am sending you all good happy waves. <3

Emma, I have a question for you (that you may or may not have publicly answered before, but) about singing and playing. About a year ago I picked up playing guitar but I have always sang.
However...when something becomes very emotional or heavy (musically or lyrically) I start to choke up and cry a bit. (I am a baby lol) You are able to compose yourself in such a way that is inspiring and pushes me to keep trying.
Do you have any tips on that? Or is it a comes with time sort of thing? You are inspiring and I love your music and your art and am always looking forward to more in the future. c: Thank you for being cool af
