So it's like, I'm still the same person and still the same artists and you're getting the same content. So even like in the earlier days, when I put out "No Small Talk" and "Goddamn," that was me being very snarky and just talking shit. Like, even though I'm not sad, I can be cynical, you know? I've always been that way. Well, the thing is-it's funny because at the end of the day, the sound may be different but the content is music. Are you scared of neglecting those people that are attracted to that sound or do you think they're ready for a fun Kari? I'm not a sad girl.īut don't you think that's what people really liked about your music? That you kind of showed a more relatable side to you. This new music is really fun and I'm a fun person, so I feel like I'm kind of going back to the essence of like who I am in my core. And I think with cry 4 help, I definitely did that. So I was like, "Damn, I really should stop being sad and just give people music, you know?" I just had to get over my teenage angst, to be honest.

And, so I was just like, "Well, why don't I just put out the mixtape in April instead of putting the album out in April?" I was just like, April feels like a good time, like it's spring. I had just been making a lot of stuff and I actually ended up making an album that I was like, "Oh, I'm going to put this out in April of next year." And then, I kinda sat on the album and was like, "Mm, I could keep working on this." So then I kept working on the album, but then I ultimately just ended up making a whole 'nother project, which is the mixtape that I want to put out. Well, it's crazy because I've been working on music, like from June to January. Why this time now to start dropping music? It's been a few months since you dropped your EP cry 4 help.
