WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I was lying in a field one day talking with a friend, and I was just hit with this realization that the most important things in life are relationships and human connection. No matter how hard life gets, there’s always someone else going through something similar. You don’t always see that though—especially living in the social media age we do. This song is a reminder that no matter how hard things seem, you’re never alone, and there are people right there with you that you’re so close to on an emotional level, even though you might not be able to see them or reach out and touch them.”  — Caye

March 28, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Pop

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“More than ever this year, even in the past six months, I’ve gone through a process of beginning to finally understand myself,” she admits. “A lot of people say they love and understand themselves, but there’s a turning point where I completely did. The hesitation turned into confidence. There was a personal side of having relationships in the past year and coming out. Also, it’s going through the process of coming to terms with my bipolar disorder. I really shifted into knowing myself. I feel it really shows in the songs. I’m excited for everyone to hear them, because they truly tell my story for the first time.” — Kailee Morgue

WHAT THE ARTISTS HAVE TO SAY:

"A couple years back we got together to write a track for a pretty prominent dance DJ, but they ended up passing on the song which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. There was something about ‘Lover Lover’ that really resonated with us and our experience... the message of this song is really about perseverance and in a way our process of making it is a great example of that. If somethings worth doing, it's worth doing right." — nicopop.

Each song in the album is about those specific connections, so I thought it was only fitting to name the entire album Sweater Collection," says Lo Lo. "My collection of sweaters is in direct correlation with my collection of songs on the EP." ˆ— Lo Lo

WHAT THE ARTISTS HAVE TO SAY:

“‘Downtown’ is a dreamy pop anthem about going “downtown” in more ways than one. Like all of our music, the record is very rooted in empowering women and our sexuality. We used the word “Downtown” as a playful sexual innuendo, it references our love of downtown New York City while also referencing going “downtown”. We’re both Geminis, so we love a dual meaning.” — RUUMER
