Cunningham describes “Life According to Raechel,” a song about losing her grandmother, as the linchpin for an album that documents the mercurial effects of grief. “Side B is fun because it definitely goes off the rails a little bit,” she says, before describing the former as “a great example of a tune that reaches outside of the record’s sonic palette.” It’s an exercise she revisits on a new version of ““Remi and I had been talking online,” she says of the collaboration. “We hung out and got coffee.” When they hit the studio, the creative chemistry was already there.
For her, TikTok is emblematic of a larger problem. “There’s a pull between artists and tech, and they’re at odds, but they also can work for each other and need each other,” Cunningham continues. “But my opinion is that there’s a working order that’s important. The artist is in charge of the tech, but if tech is in charge of the artist, I think it’s a disaster waiting to happen.” She puts that losing battle down to shortsightedness in the music industry.
