When you stifle me this much, then you get this kind of an album, Candy explains.
Just let me be creative.
Trust her, she wont give up she didnt withNaked Attractioneither.
Im not gonna lie, she admits.
I didnt turn it off.
It does [feel like that], like its been gestating for months.
It doesnt feel like I made it and then I had to wait five years to put it out.
But I dont really think about how it feels.
I made a body of work that is beyond just me.
And its just a fun body of work.
Its not meant to be taken too seriously, and theres not too much deep meaning.
And its cool that I got to make this project thats fun.
I was being dictated what I could and couldnt say, what I could and couldnt do.
I made sure that was short-lived.
Subconsciously, I just knew that nothing could shut me up.
All artists should have creative freedom.
Otherwise, theyre not artists; theyre just vehicles.
And Im not that.
I was shamed for doing something that I didnt know was wrong and isnt wrong.
But I was told it was wrong.

He was like, What do you think about a feature?
And I was like, No, you didnt.
And it was interesting to seeDrag Races AquariaandViolet Chachkion Rim.
Why the two of them?Aquaria and Violet are just so chic.
They are stunning and they just inspire me to want to be more glamorous.
I was like, this song is nasty, whos really fucking glamorous and whos really fucking nasty?
And they both came to mind.
Because I started to think, who could be even nastier?
Yes, the two of you are the ones.
That would be so fun.
And it was time for me to get sober, cause I was a crazy human being.
And I still have crazy sex.
Thats really it for me.
