Album Flow Quotes

I wanted to make an album that plays from the top to bottom and feels together and complete. That's just something that felt important.

I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.

I've waited for the day my debut album is released my entire life, so naturally I've designed it to be listened to from start to finish - so every song flows into each other in a way that tells a sonic story.

One of the important things when you're making a record or doing a performance is the sequence of the songs. It really matters a lot because you want your project, your show, or your albums to sort of have a life.
