A quote about this album from the artist: “Someone New” is about the validation and relief from one’s internal world that a romantic encounter can offer, but also about becoming aware that there seems to be an expiry date on that type of opportunity for women. It ambivalently celebrates and condemns the idea of being in one’s ‘prime’, as it is so rare that youth and self-understanding are simultaneous. Understated and lavish, grave but upbeat, “Someone New” is the thesis of the record. - Helena Deland
