In a recent interview, the artist described the period of making her new album as spontaneous yet grueling as some of the process went on for 5 months straight. She had to work on being a full-time photographer while also making the album and she had to push herself to make it work. According to her, it was emotionally tasking but creatively rewarding.
According to TY Bello, the album was inspired by a weekly worship section that created a beautiful moment she wanted others to experience. And she aimed to make music they can relate to. “Since 2016 we started this worship section called ‘Spontaneous Worship’ and every time, the music gets so supercharged and the whole experience is very beautiful. I wanted to recreate this experience for everyday people and I thought the best way is to make music that they can relate to.”
