Singer-songwriter Margo Price opens up about the raw, real-life inspirations for her new album, 'Strays,' which she wrote after taking psychedelic mushrooms.

."I've struggled with self-image my whole life," Price said in the interview."The success and the money and the fame, those things don't really make your problems go away. Sometimes they amplify them."are deeply personal. Some veer into storytelling. For the single"Lydia," Price strums chords on an acoustic guitar as she describes a woman's visit to an abortion clinic. A string band accompanies her on the otherwise spare track.

"I wrote the soundtrack to probably what a lot of a lot of women in this country are thinking and are going through at this point," she added.The flip side is"Light Me Up," which explores women's pleasure."It starts in a very sweet, loving place. And then it it does escalate to basically this big orgasm," Price said."I thought of all the songs that men have written about their orgasms, that we should explore that.

"I was thinking about how you just you get lost looking in the mirror. All you see is this reflection of yourself in the past. And it is talking about living in the present and just being able to shed those things," she said."It's a very dark song, but it was incredibly cathartic to write and and to play."
