Brooke Morrison:
You guys are finally back in the spotlight. You know, back to the grind. How does it feel to kind of come out of a waiting period and finally be out again?
Camila:
I mean, I think it’s definitely like a shift, because for some time we weren’t like grinding as much as we’re doing now, so it’s kind of just getting back in the feeling and the vibes is very different now. It’s kind of just getting into this vibe again. But, I mean, we love it.
You guys have gone through a lot of change in two years than most groups see in five. And there’s a lot to be said, you know, and like, frankly, how did you guys feel whenever headlines hit about a lot of controversy, maybe KG’s lawsuit, Kaylee’s health hiatus, how did that hit you guys personally, and did it affect your confidence at all?
Kendall:
It definitely hit hard at some points. Some things were unexpected. Some others were not recent news to us, and I feel like we had a lot of deep, intertwined feelings about everything because obviously, of our journey where we came from, our relationships with people, with the past members, everything. But I feel like have like us to rely on, like, we just rely on each other, and we’re able to one, like, talk out how we were feeling with each other. And also, I feel like it’s so important that we were able to, like, put those into songs that we’ve written as well that’s become a big way for us to express ourselves, and is the way that we want to communicate with the world how we feel because, frankly, there is just so much to be said that we feel that it’s kind of, you can’t describe it.
