Episode Highlights

03:35 – I believe that all of my favorite artists have influenced my sound. My inner journey is directly connected to my music. The more comfortable I get with myself, the more comfortable I am writing lyrics that are true to myself. 

18:19 – We are taking it a little slower; we’ve had a couple of shows, and they’ve been amazing. But this is OK for me because I’m working on a new album. 

21:33 – A Woman Like Me is about a journey from the outside to the inside. If you are not right inside, then the outside is not going to be right. 

30:29 – Normally, the last thing that I write is the bridge. If I cannot come up with the bridge, the song is not ready for the world. 

39:23 – ‘Bout it or Doubt it – the Movies category. Lindsey shares why she does not like horror films and why she likes The Godfather.
