INFO:

I wrote Milk Carton Girl alone at my piano, never thinking anyone would hear it. I am thrilled to say it is now available for pre-save! Pre-saving a song helps artists immensely, so thank you in advance to anyone who does—I hope you love what you hear! I’ve written hundreds of songs, and I never thought a single one of them would be heard. I never thought I would have the confidence to sing in front of anyone, especially my own songs. Writing has always been a big part of who I am, but it’s something I’ve kept private. This is my diary—my deepest insecurities, the ones I usually disguise with humor—now out in the open. These words mean so much to me, and I hope you listen and hear yourself in them too. I hope you hear them and realize you are not alone. Last year, as a shot in the dark, I sent in a video to American Idol, not expecting to hear back. I had no social media, I didn’t perform anywhere—I had a flip phone at the time. 😂 Auditioning for the judges changed my life. It made me realize I’m capable of hard things and that the words I keep private might actually make a difference in the world. This song wouldn’t be possible without my friend Malachi Mills. Two years ago, The Band Loula played at my wedding, and we kept in touch. I knew Malachi had his own experience with Idol a few years back, so I reached out to him for advice during my audition process. I showed him this song and told him what it meant to me and that I wanted to record it. He immediately jumped in to help. He has taken so much time out of his own incredibly busy schedule to produce this song himself. You can also hear him playing guitar and singing background vocals on it! It’s everything I could have ever dreamed of for my first song. I’m proud to say that even if I didn’t write it, it would still be one of my favorite songs in the world. 🥹 I can’t believe this is real. I’m so ridiculously grateful for his help, and I’m hoping to win the Mega Millions so I can maybe repay him. 😂🥹 Also, shoutout to Logan for the cover art!! ❤️
