Head Above Water was written while coming out of the darkness surrounding her 2014 Lyme Disease diagnosis.

She details each trial and tribulation from a perspective of triumph and emerges stronger than ever before.

In this headspace, she hit the studio with a bevy of collaborators, including Stephan Moccio, Chris Baseford, Johan Carlsson, Lauren Christy of The Matrix, Ryan Cabrera, Travis Clark, Bonnie McKee, JR Rotem, Mitch Allan and more
