This album began as an exercise for getting into the head of B*Sweet by writing lyrics and listening to a few of the songs mentioned in the text in order to help me write.

Eventually, I found myself writing new songs whenever I was stuck in the text, and it provided an alternative route during bouts of writer's block.

Beginning with the songs she would have written in her youth--incorporating the influence of a younger James Logan on the lyrics--I eventually imagined new songs for the new album which showed what B*Sweet wished to be, even if she fell short. I can now see how elements of what had already been written found their ways into the lyrics, and how some of the lyrics influenced the later prose.

If you have any questions about the process, contact me.
