Q1. Please talk to us about your latest release and the inspiration behind it. 

It's a song about a mysterious widow. When I heard the beat the Dutch producers sent me; the story came to my head. It was very easy to access the emotion of the story because it's somewhat true. I am a widow, and I can be mysterious.

Q2. Could you introduce us to your producing team?

Sure! I worked with Club cheval members, Canblaster and Sam Tiba, along with Dutch legends The Flexican, Wantigga, Jengi and Jaël.

Q3. How is this track special compare to other tracks you’ve released throughout the career?

Because it's sexy but dark, and very authentic.

Q4. Can you pick 1 or 2 must plays in your recent sets and why?

Remember and WHORU? Everybody knows the song, and they love the video. It becomes a huge sing-a-long.

Q5. Any exciting new projects coming up that you can share with us? 

EP releasing this fall, Headline tour in winter and an album releasing early next year! Features and festivals in between!

Q6. Please leave a message for your fans in Japan.  

Thank you so much for your love always. I have many things coming up so please stay tuned in. I love you.
