The two tracks that leaked are brilliant – if it was a strategic leak then it is even more genius, because they speak a million words to her fans about the evolution and where she is as an artist and human. It’s rather amazing – and this is complimented by a beautiful set of images by Mert & Marcus in Interview magazine and an outstanding interview/conversation with David Blaine. You should read it. There are certain gems that really ring true, such as: “You’ve got to be open to it all. Suffering is a big informer, a big catalyst for creation. You take your sadness, your despair, your sense of injustice, and you put it in your work.”
She’s amazing. Bring on the music.
