"MAYHEM came because Michael told me, ‘you need to make a pop album.’" And he was right. I needed this. But I didn't realize how scared I was to make this album. I thought it wasn’t a part of me anymore, that the music I made early in my career was something that was left behind, but I realized all of those things are still in me. "
