But now, as the singer and songwriter born "This is the moving on album," Lotterud explains over the phone from her home in Oslo. "Like, we're not going to be together, but I'm not going to lay down and die. I'm going to be fine."
She unveiled the first taste of the album in February with the fittingly-titled "Leaning On Myself," a slow-burning tune about finding self-assurance while in the throes of loneliness, followed by funky anthem "Thank Me Later" and the blissful "Playing Games."

It's quite hard to open up in a session, and I'm quite shy and insecure in many ways about my music. You want to make a good impression, and it's not always easy. Music doesn't always come when it's supposed to come.
