PopMatters interview

Smith discusses her music in anticipation of the release of her new album, She, and contrasts it to her debut album, For Lovers, Dreamers, & Me.

I’ve been singing that CD for at least three or four years on a pretty consistent basis. I played it a lot. Thinking about it now, I didn’t write half of those songs. I wonder if that made it feel even longer. I was just singing and singing and singing and they weren’t even all my songs. They weren’t all about me. I don’t know when I would actually get tired of singing these new songs. They’re just so much closer to my heart.
