Abrams, 26, described an unexpected calm ahead of the release, crediting long hours spent refining the tracks.
> “I love the feeling. I really like it right now. I think I feel kind of calm about it. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with it.”
Studio Companions & Inspirations

At March’s Billboard Women in Music event, Abrams underscored her devotion to the craft during her Songwriter of the Year acceptance speech:
