First off, tell us about the new album out this week. How does it differ from your past work? What song do you have the strongest connection to and why?
"I'm very excited about the EP. It's a mixture of songs that I used to do back when I was in Malaysia like 5 years ago, and also the newer stuff that I started writing here when I was in the States that might be a little bit experimental. I guess this time it’s different because I have a mindset of putting out an American release EP that I've always wanted to do ever since I started writing. I also guess the energy in the music is different, just because I'm experiencing a lot of new things. I think the song I have the strongest connection with is “Decorate” because it was never meant to be recorded. But you know, we recorded it acoustic for fun, and it was probably a 50-50 kinda situation where it could work or not. But it ended up a really beautiful song, and “Decorate” is truly a brainchild so I love the song to death!"
