my week 5/15/23

 Hey guys - 

Writing to you from sunny Los Angeles. I’m on a break from tour for a few days so I decided to come “home” (still getting used to saying that) to do some work and see my friends. Today I saw my friend and got some yummy coffee (matcha with almond milk for me, vanilla latte for her) and did some window shopping on Melrose - if you know how basic that sentence is, I apologize. There is nothing like doing practically nothing with your friends. Speaking of nothing like doing nothing, I also got to see Bruno Major both nights because my friend Lindsay was opening for him which was so sick. She has the most insane voice ever it’s actually superhuman and if you have never seen her you really should. And he is one of my favorite songwriters ever so it was truly a treat. 

Overall this week has been a reset for me, just laundry and more laundry and more laundry and taking showers that aren’t plagued by the new diseases that lie at the bottom of every venue’s tile

lit a candle/palo santo pre-shower with this cute heart stone a fan (Angie) brought me in vancouver :)

It’s wild how quickly tour has gone by. There is only one month left and 12 shows. I’ve traveled to so many places across the country I never thought I’d go, and some I don’t think I need to go back to (I’ll leave them unnamed for both of our sakes). But there are so many new faces every night who know the words and know about my pickle obsession and match sambas and flats with me and they are honestly some of the coolest people I’ve ever met. The last girl in line in Calgary (Ava) gave us all of these sick recommendations for Banff and we went to as many as possible. I feel so honored to know so many of you guys and watch how passionate, smart, kind, stylish, crafty and cool you all are. 

 

Also, update time: some cool things happened this week

     1. My second Vevo video came out for 20 !! I feel like 20 is underrated from the EP but it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. I was quite literally crying in between takes and I really hope this new version can live in a special place in your heart like it does in mine. 

     2. The Neighborhood hit 2 million streams !!! I am so grateful for every person who continues to listen and I hope you’ve all found your new neighborhoods by now because god knows you need to

     3. I have been writing new songs again after a period of time off and I have been listening to them nonstop it’s so fun (sorry for taunting you, but I’m so excited for them)  

     4. I learned that Winnie the Pooh is British after being dragged on Twitter by Anna aka gracesneighborhood

That’s my week, that is all, lots of love, logging off.
