, her first since ending her marriage to Brandon Blackstock.
The 41-year-old singer and talk show host admitted that she was hesitant at first to release this album given the personal subject matter in the songs. “I wrote these so long ago that I’m in a different place. But it is hard, because I’ve had to sing them all live,” she shared. “And I’m incapable of not feeling and going to that moment, so that’s hard, emotionally, but I’m in a different place now than when I wrote these, and a much healthier place.”
“I never really connected before my ex-husband. And I never connected with anybody like that. I’d never felt that,” she shared. “I just remembered the first time we even met, I was like, ‘Whoa.’ I just felt something. And then it can go very poorly, chemistry. You can have amazing chemistry with somebody who you really shouldn’t be with, you know? Not that that one person is good or bad, whatever. It’s just not a healthy environment.
