In her interview with Billboard, she states;
"The process began with “As I Am.” I was trying to find the way to totally be myself and what that meant; figuring out what choices I wanted to make and not make in order to truly honor myself. That was the beginning of learning how to do that. And now it’s culminated into “The Element of Freedom”: the ability to have nothing holding you back; to be totally brave enough to be completely yourself in all of its glory."
Her 4th studio album, The Element of Freedom, comes out December 15th.
