Hi Grace! I suppose you're waiting for my in depth analysis of your first album. Well, here it is: I like it!
LA is famously full of fake people, and the next few days will be full of them. Stay out of sight if you can, but you're becoming so big so fast all them poseurs will want a piece of you. They may look OK but they practice witchcraft, so don't give nor accept anything from people you don't trust, like hair, tokens, trinkets, etc. Trust is a difficult thing anywhere but worst in Hollywood: they can be so convincing, and they might put years into securing their act. You are a Rock Star and you will have to make personal appearances. Don't hang around for the after party: it will be dangerous. Cameras are everywhere.
Hollywood used to be the entertainment capitol of the world. The greatest movies were made there. Nowadays, anyone can make a movie. They post it on YouTube, and even the major studios post whole movies on YouTube. But that's not the real problem. Hollywood has run out of ideas, so it steals as much creativity it can from real life. You still have your inner circle to help shield you, to a certain extent. But people like the homeless are subject to cruel movie making.
Your first album is a hit, Honey. It is well arranged and produced. When I heard "Lucy", I thought it was an Allman brothers cover. But Google didn't know of an Allman brothers song called "Lucy", and I was delighted to realize that you wrote it. Grace, it's the most beautiful song I've heard since "The Rain Song". The feeling it gave me was like a happy sadness, tears of contradiction. The fadeout fadein is ingenious. The other songs orbit around "Lucy". I wish I had written that song. I know you like funk and what not, but your strength is beautiful melody. You can still make beautiful melody upbeat and energetic by putting it over intense drums and bass.
