She discusses her forthcoming album entitled Comet Come To Me and details the sonic experience of creating and compiling songs for a project. She also talks about stepping away from the writing process and being able to enjoy the music in a different than she might have if she had shouldered the lyrical responsibility of the track. Meshell goes on to explain her evolving philosophies on life, including her feelings about gender and sexuality and a deeper desire for people to abandon the weight of those issues within the sonic space of musical consumption, so that they can focus on enjoying the music.
