ETC.

Two authors really were big inspirations for me while writing this album. Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red was one of them. She's an absolute genius! I even named a song on my record about the main character Geryon. This is my favourite line from the book, ''They were two superior eels at the bottom of the tank and they recognized each other like italics''...

I know that I've had a lot of press regarding my love of Ace of Base. But it's undeniable how influential they continue to be for me. Just look how much FUN they're having in this video! In all honesty Young and Proud is definitely one of the best pop songs ever written...

Listen now on kind of terrible iTunes radio.

GIRL is out March 3.

Victoria's Secret uses one the of the best songs of the year in their new holiday 2013 campaign. Weird.
