It was a totally fun thing to do though. My own production process is pretty freeform anyway, but the aforementioned instance is something I hadn't done before at the time. DD: How do you think your new EP differs from your previous work, if it does?Kwes: More personal, more songs.DD: Do you think having a pop aspect to your songs is the hardest to get right?Kwes: 'Pop' is in me I think, so I don't think that's the hardest aspect. I guess the "hardest" or rather more laborious aspect is turning what I'm thinking/wanting to write about into song/sound/music. DD: What are you most excited about next?Kwes: Seeing my grandparents, and seeing what next thing my Nan has to say about the world. She's a deeply animated and positively sensitive person, and I may have a song about her on my album.
