LEFT BRAIN RIGHT BRAIN

sM | There’s an extra administrative component to a collaborative album like this, and as a producer on this album (alongside Daniel Ledwell), how were you able to stay in both the creative and the logistical camps without muddling both?

JG ─ I had to schedule and organize it, but then when it was time to start writing in the sessions, there were no thoughts about logistics or coordination. It was all creative, and that's just the way that life is, especially as a parent. Sometimes it was stressful because I was a very busy mother of two, with a very small infant and a one-and-a-half year old. It was a lot, but I'm a project-oriented person, so for me to keep my joy up, I like to be creating alongside motherhood, which I really love – so I just didn't really stop working.
