In the interview, she discusses her new EP titled Crush, her close relationship with Noname, touring with SZA, and how she channels Beyonceâs confidence before each performance.
Speaking of SZAâs influence, she said:
â[SZA] being a singer really helped me investigate my performing abilities and things I may need to change. So seeing her show every night really kind of put me in the place of a student.â
Crush, which is out now, is a 5-track project produced entirely by The Internetâs Steve Lacy. Outside of his work with The Internet, he can be heard on albums such as J. Coleâs 4 Your Eyez Only and Kendrick Lamarâs Grammy-award-winning album, DAMN.
