The collection was inspired by Peter Gabriel's song 'Digging in the Dirt' and includes a cover of the 1992 hit featuring the singer, as well as nine other songs.
She said in the May 2024 issue of Red Magazine: [creating albums] What a waste of time and money! People don't listen to records as a whole body of work, but to me there were all these songs that felt very timely… So I said, “Okay, I'm going to think about it from beginning to middle and make a traditional album. No, I thought. And the end. ' Instead, this is a compilation of new songs. ”
The 62-year-old star also said that as a child, he found solace in music.
“I went there when all my friends started drinking and smoking pot and I felt left out,” she recalled. It was the support of my identity, and when it came time to figure out what I wanted to be, music was what I was good at. ”
She added of discovering her talent for singing in bars: “I was singing in a bar and a producer came up to me and asked me to sing in a commercial. It was the first time someone said, 'I think you're great, I'd take advantage of your work. I'm going to help you, and you're going to get paid for it.'
The country-pop star previously talked about how much he “loved” making studio albums, but said there's no point in committing to a body of work when music fans are “choosing songs” on streaming platforms. I feel it's meaningful.
Speaking to NME in 2019, she admitted: “I think this will probably be my last album.
“I'm really relieved about that. I've loved my career and I don't feel like my career is over, but I feel like things have changed very dramatically.
“I loved making records, I loved producing them, but the love and time and emotion that went into creating an artistic expression and a body of work has become so much more valuable now that technology has developed. So I feel like people have become just cherry blossoms.'' – Choosing a song, it seems like a waste in a way to me.
“And I felt like this was the right project to work on. This project is a timeline from my childhood to the present and even into the future.”
The musician reassured fans that he will continue to release singles.
She said: “[This will] do not have [be] My last music, but probably my last album project overall. ”
