Alessia says, “If you listen to the whole thing, it just really feels like change and you can see what those changes are and where they were, and where I was at.  Sonically, it’s a little bit more mature and a little bit more cohesive.  It just feels more like a full album.”

 

And the best part about Alessia’s new album – she wrote EVERY SINGLE SONG herself!  When asked by a fan on Twitter if she wrote every song on the album, Alessia responds with, “Hell yeah.”

 

 

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Alessia explained why she decided to write the entire new album herself, “It’s very difficult to sit in a room with someone else, or with other people, and have to tell them about that and be that person with them so that they can write something with you.  I just thought, there’s no better person to write this than me.  It was so personal to me.  It was a really sacred thing; I didn’t want anyone to know exactly what I was going through.  When you have full control, you can give away as much as you want to give away, and be as honest as you want and you know what it means and no one understands you better than you.”
