But Morris has other, more important things on her mind.
I was pleasantly surprised by how hopeful and optimistic this album is, considering the time during which you made it. Did you intentionally set out to make something lighter, or did that come naturally to you?writing certain songs that reflected the darkness I was feeling during a very tumultuous time of uncertainty. I was dealing with postpartum depression, and there were songs I was writing that were dark and reflecting what I was feeling.
That is the question that I was asking myself all throughout this recording and writing process. How do I stay grounded and fulfilled, but also absolutely know that I’m meant to be here, and I deserve to be here, and I’m good at what I do, and I’m self-assured, and I’m a grown-ass woman in her thirties? Like, I had a kid. I’ve seen some shit.
And then the show itself, we’re going in a couple weeks to Vegas for it, and it’s kind of the first Grammys I’m going to where I don’t have to work. I’m just going as a nominee and I can just hang with my husband because we’re both up for the same category. It’s going to be fun. It really is the top of everyone’s game that you’re getting to watch there, and I love that it’s every genre and the best of the best. So it does feel important.
