I always find nature really inspiring and when I was writing in Nashville a lot of the time I was out in the countryside. I was inspired a lot by Joni Mitchell at that time and so the songs had taken on a 70s West Coast feel. That place definitely fed into the music. In LA I stayed up in Topanga Canyon in a beautiful house that sort of felt like a cabin. I think a lot of that feeling and imagery is on the album, especially Celestial Dancers. In India I went to Goa and there were the most incredible transcendent huge red skies and lightning storms.
I think all the places I went to have influenced the sound of the record. Was there a particular landscape-or a specific city-that really influenced your writing on this album? You went on this really beautiful exploratory discovery over the last couple years, traveling to India and Nashville and Los Angeles and back home to the UK during your hiatus. Sometimes that pressure would get in the way of the process, and I had to remind myself just to make something I was proud of.
WHO IS BIRDY SINGER FULL
