xo,

so many talented hands all over this record.
i co-wrote all the songs with brian paturalski, mark plati and "my soul brother" van romaine.
van produced the record and i was so lucky to have him do so. most of my songs with him were written on enrique iglesias tour stops in los angeles. a couple started in new york and almost all were finshed in hotels on the west coast.
every song evoked a different feeling. "going through the motions" felt instant to us as we were writing it. huge. like when a chorus knocks you over the first time you listen to it. still does.
"already gone" was started at van's studio in new jersey when i was pregnant with my second son. i had left my first son in l.a. at 6 months old to go and write.
