Sometimes when you're overwhelmed by a situation - when you're in the darkest of darkness - that's when your priorities are reordered.
I faded away for a while out of necessity.
I'm not a folk or jazz singer, more a hard-edged pop singer - with some rock, and song hooks.
It's no sin to admit that you feel vulnerable and lost.
I realized that I've lived half my life already, and it's time to believe in - and stand up for - myself.
