I think it is as well. Yeah, I think that’s kind of my approach. That’s kind of like all I really know how to do. If I needed to I would sing to them, or I would kind of just talk about a feeling that they should have while they’re playing. Like, ‘this needs to be in your head while you’re doing it’.

I had a lovely time speaking to rising Australian songwriter Grace Cummings about the reception to her second album Storm Queen, some interesting points behind the album's recording, the threat of the Climate Crisis, and The Sopranos, among other things.
