“It was toxic dealing with a narcissist. If you know anything about those types of individuals, they’re always right— never wrong, never apologetic. No matter what they do, how wrong they could’ve been, it’s always the other people or [the] other person”

“I have nothing to prove. The truth don’t need defending. You can just sit back and let them play themselves because karma already knows and God saw, so put it on me. I’ll keep what I know to me and God, and that’s it. I’m just glad I ain’t got to deal with you no more [and] you ain’t in my life,”

“Just being back around some musicians and in a musical environment to get that project done made me feel excited again to work on my own stuff”

“At the end of the day, the subject matter is pretty straightforward, but it’s also a banger. It just feels good. I wanted to give the people something that I felt we needed in the R&B and soul culture, from a time where we used to feel it and it used to sound like that. [It’s] throwback, but it’s still fresh and new.”

“I wanted to start the record with that particular song because it was a statement. I was letting it be known like, “You can’t break my soul. I’m still here.” We come from strong stock, not just me as a Black woman, as a woman, me as a person, but as a whole, as a people. We’ve been through a lot in this past year clearly, but overall, particularly within the culture.”

“It came about pretty organically, pretty naturally. When I’m working on music, I vibe out with it. I’m old school as it is. I love old-school music, soul music. So I naturally lean towards that. So when I was writing the melody, that’s pretty much what came out. And you nailed it as far as Teena Marie. I’ve always been a huge fan of [her] and just so many other greats, but particularly that [song] just took on that spirit when I was recording. I just remember being a child, being in awe of such an amazing sound.”
