And getting what you want and building a place where you feel comfortable and where you feel yourself. I wanted the record to feel like a journey, which is why I gave it that title that may be intimidating to pronounce, because I wanted it to feel like the journey of a fantasy heroine and a journey from aspiring towards something \u2014 oh, I wanna be with this person, I wanna live this kind of life, I wanna make something of myself \u2014 to, oh wow, I\u2019m looking around at what I have and what I\u2019m doing, and it feels really good.

And <em>Maitreya<\/em> is a reference to the bodhisattva and this idea of new beginnings and the combination of the divine spirit and the human spirit. And I don\u2019t know, It felt right to me. I was looking for a name of a fantasy heroine to go on this journey that I felt like the record was, and that felt like the right name.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>On this album, I hear where Joni Mitchell gave you permission to do certain things, both melodically and lyrically.<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong>She\u2019s a hero of mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>And then I also hear the influence of Taylor Swift in the specificity of the lyrics, though she\u2019s not the only one who\u2019s had that approach.<br \/><\/strong>I think she inspired a generation. I think she made a generation of young people listen to music and think, oh wow, my life could matter. My feelings could matter. And the details of it could matter, my personal stories. And of course, it\u2019s a [William] Blakean thing, the minute particulars, right? The more specific you make something, the more relatable it actually is. But I was hugely influenced by her. I\u2019ve been listening to her music my entire life. You could start any song from any word and I would be able to know where you were and finish it probably. So it\u2019s an undeniable influence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>On the song \u201cLioness,\u201d you talk about \u201cwatching Sadie talk to God through the lav mic.\u201d I wonder who you\u2019re talking about.<br \/><\/strong>I am talking about that Sadie. I think that names are really fun, and figuring out how to use them is fun, and indicating and winking parts of your life. I think that there is a dangerous line you can walk where you don\u2019t wanna really be writing fan fiction of your own life or trying to build puzzles for people to crack. At least that\u2019s not my game. I don\u2019t want people listening to the songs and trying to figure out what I\u2019m talking about. I want them to listen to them and figure out how they feel. But one theme of this record, as well as love and contentment, was about a reckoning with ambition. And \u201cLioness\u201d is really about getting what you wanted and struggling with some discontent with it.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>You have that line on that song, \u201cput my picture on the poster.\u201d One might think you knew what came with fame given how you grew up, but I guess you have to actually experience it yourself to really know the reality.<br \/><\/strong>Yeah, I think so. And I also think there\u2019s a spectacular nature of this industry where it all is extremely glamorous and then there\u2019s a profound loneliness to it, where you\u2019re sitting for nine hours in a wig and makeup that sweats off of your face in a trailer waiting for it to be your turn at two o\u2019clock in the morning, and you\u2019re like, \u201cWhat am I doing here? Am I being an artist right now? Am I being creative?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tI\u2019m watching my dream come true and I\u2019m grumpy. And how is that acceptable? How is that an acceptable way for me to feel inside? How could it possibly be acceptable for me to talk about that? How could I get on the phone with a friend and be like, \u201cI\u2019m so annoyed,\u201d when I\u2019m living my dream and so many people\u2019s dreams, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBut of course we\u2019re all human and the same thing, the carrot on the treadmill \u2014 I think discontent is in the nature of humanity. The happiest person in the world has bad days and days where they\u2019re not grateful and days where they\u2019re unhappy. And that song is about those days. And there\u2019s a reason that it\u2019s not the first or the last song, and it\u2019s because that\u2019s not what most of my days are like. I\u2019m a really lucky person and I\u2019m especially right now a really happy person. But it\u2019s not always true.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>So when were you watching Sadie Sink talk to God through the lav mic?<br \/><\/strong>I was actually talking about working on <em>Stranger Things<\/em>. There was a day where I was really grumpy and I wasn\u2019t feeling very inspired. And I came into set and I was a background player in a scene that she was in, and I remembered how magical acting is. I just watched her pick a spirit out of the universe and make the whole room quiet and speak truth and feel truth and turn something from a game of playing pretend into something extremely authentic and really moving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd it was a kick in my butt where I was like, no. Bring it every time, every second. Always. Yes, you\u2019re filming for a year. Don\u2019t get lazy for one second. Remember what the magic can be like. When I was at drama school, I used to complain, it was like 80 percent of the day is magic, but 20 percent is total bull-honky. And then I started working and I was like, oh, whoa, 80\/20 is a high percentage of magic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>The ratio is shrinking.<br \/><\/strong>Yeah. The ratio is shrinking. And that was a moment where I was like, oh, it doesn\u2019t have to \u2014 you are shrinking the ratio. You are losing touch with the magic. You are losing touch with what makes you wanna wake up in the morning and brush your hair. You\u2019re depressed. It\u2019s not the art that\u2019s depressed. You are. So I think Sadie is the greatest actress of our generation and I love watching her work in anything, but that was a wake-up call for me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Does she know she\u2019s shouted out?<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>You got permission?<br \/><\/strong>I would never ever, in a million years, <em>not <\/em>get permission. I think there\u2019s a whole other conversation we could have for an hour about the morality of writing about people. And writing about your experiences, whether or not you name drop-them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>So you ask permission even if you don\u2019t use names?<br \/><\/strong>Yeah. Sometimes. I think that it\u2019s a weird feeling to be written about and I\u2019ve had it in my own life from people that I love that know me and that didn\u2019t name-drop me, but wrote about me. And it\u2019s weird. Sometimes it can feel exposing and vulnerable and I don\u2019t wanna put anyone in that position. And you don\u2019t want anyone to learn how you feel about them in public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd also songwriting \u2014 Miley Cyrus actually said this, who is also a huge influence and inspiration to me. But she talked about how feelings enter your body and that\u2019s not who you are, right? You are not really angry in your entire self. You\u2019re a lot of things. But to write a great song, sometimes you wanna zero in on a singular feeling. Where you\u2019re like, oh, I\u2019m gonna write an angry song about this, and really that\u2019s just a moment of a way you feel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>It\u2019s like an ember that you\u2019re fanning into a flame, but it\u2019s not really a flame until you do that.<br \/><\/strong>Yeah. And it certainly doesn\u2019t encompass all of what you feel. I think that if you write a really angry song about somebody that you love, you wanna be like, hey, just so you know, before you listen to this on the album \u2014 I\u2019m not angry at you. I was angry at you on a day that was really inspiring and created this thing. And do you feel OK about me sharing that feeling with the world? Or not?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>On the first single, \u201cDevil,\u201d you sing about ambition. And someone calling you out on your ambition. You have a lot of complicated feelings about that.<br \/><\/strong>I do. I think ambition is amazing and it\u2019s a motivating force and it gets you on the treadmill. But I think it also has a bad side. And I was having a really insecure period of time where I was feeling bad about myself and bad about my career, and I was talking to someone and I said, I just don\u2019t think I\u2019m doing well enough. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m successful enough. And they asked me, when would it be enough?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd it stopped me in my tracks and I thought, oh, the only time it would ever feel like enough is if it was too much. If it started to impede my life, impede my ability to be anonymous, to be free \u2014 that\u2019s when I\u2019d be like, cool, this is enough. And I don\u2019t want that. I don\u2019t wanna not be able to be a person. And so that was a wake-up call for me \u2014 I\u2019ve gotta check in with my ambition, because the only thing that would satisfy the gremlin in me is the ruination of my freedom. And so I\u2019ve gotta go talk to the gremlin and figure out a way to make a deal with them where we could both be happy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>And that\u2019s the devil.<br \/><\/strong>Yeah. That\u2019s the devil in the song. That gremlin who was like, \u201cMore \u2014 you must do better. This person is more successful than you.\u201d And you\u2019ve gotta talk to that guy and be like, OK, how can we work something out? This jealousy isn\u2019t helping me. This competitiveness isn\u2019t helping me. It\u2019s not making me a better artist. So that\u2019s what that song\u2019s about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>You do a really cool thing of returning to the chorus of \u201cLove of My Life\u201d on the track \u201cMaitreya and the Way Back,\u201d which I think helps qualify this as a concept album. And I know that track came together in a really interesting way with different collaborators.<br \/><\/strong>Yeah. I\u2019ve been working with a lot of the same people for as long as I\u2019ve been making music. Benjamin Lazar Davis, Will Graefe, and <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/christian-lee-hutson\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/christian-lee-hutson\/\">Christian Lee Hutson<\/a>, my husband. And we have been writing together all for a really long time, and I wanted to do something where each person wrote a different section of the song with me, kind of in isolation, and then we combined them. I thought that would be cool. And we ended up combining it all in a live take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThere are some overdubs but [most] of that song was one live take, everyone in different iso booths. I remember Christian was in a room with a keyboard, a piano, and a guitar on his lap, and he starts on the piano and then he switches to the guitar and then he switches to the keyboard. All in one go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tI really wanted you to feel a love story. There\u2019s a love story in this album \u2014 in dealing with ambition and dealing with fear and dealing with history, as you grow as a person, I think you become more and more available to be with the love of your life. If you\u2019re not yourself, you\u2019re not gonna find your person. And so you\u2019ve gotta reckon with the mirror before you can reach out your hand. So I wanted to tell a full love story, but I didn\u2019t want the album to be 20 songs long. So we wanted to jam a big story in together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Where are you with your own process of emotional separation from<em> Stranger Things<\/em>? Have you totally closed the book?<br \/><\/strong>The last two years of finishing the show, going in to work on it and then finishing it in the public eye, has been the biggest graduation and emotional turmoil ever for me. I was so scared for it to end. I felt like I\u2019d finally gotten my sea legs in my community and really ditched my new-kid feeling and really got comfortable right when it started to end. And I was really scared. It became such a grounding force, such a family, a character I love playing, and I was really scared to have it end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>What were you scared of?<br \/><\/strong>Being lost at sea. Not having a home base to return to. Losing those friendships, possibly. Also, just \u2014 \u201cmaybe I\u2019ll never work again\u201d is always available in the conversation. Some combination of those things was what I was scared of. And also, am I any good at this? I\u2019ve now been playing this character for a while \u2014 did I just get lucky and get this part? And then they built the part for me to succeed in it. Am I actually a terrible actor and I don\u2019t deserve to be here? Imposter whatever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSo I was really scared. And then we had a year of funerals [for the show]. Which was really intense. Private funerals and public funerals. It was really sad. And scary and confusing. And I\u2019m feeling better now. And part of that has to do with the fact that we\u2019re all still friends and that feels reassuring. And I\u2019ve worked since, and that\u2019s comforting. And so far it seems like things are good. We\u2019ll see. I\u2019ll keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>I think for viewers, series finales are a reminder of death. And I think that\u2019s why people tend to freak out one way or another as fans. In this case, they refused to believe \u2014 some of them \u2014 that the finale was the finale.<br \/><\/strong>They went through the stages of grief. I don\u2019t make fun of it at all. I went through the stages of grief. I get it. I\u2019m still going through them. I think I\u2019m close to acceptance, but if I got the call tomorrow and they were like, \u201cHey, do you wanna come back?\u201d I\u2019d be like, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tI think the Internet\u2019s also just a weird place, and I\u2019ve really learned that these days there is a lot of false information, a lot of false feelings, false outrage, false everything. And that each of us have an internet that is designed for our own personal self-hatred cocktail. I\u2019ve learned this from looking at friends\u2019 phones and they\u2019re being like, oh, you didn\u2019t hear about that? Oh, I heard about that. Oh, you hear bad stuff about you? I see bad stuff about me, and I just hear about how amazing you\u2019re doing. The internet\u2019s trying to ruin our friendship, so you know what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd so I really have been working on trying to stay out of it and having my own feelings about the show ending and my own grief and not really trying to filter through everyone else\u2019s response and feelings of people that I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s all complicated, and people work each other up and people \u2014 the community of fandom. I don\u2019t know. I thought I\u2019d have a point and then I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>It\u2019s also fun to hallucinate collectively.<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong>Yes. It\u2019s fun to have a collective hallucination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>To go back to your music\u2014 you started off really just writing lyrics and then everything changed once you got into the other half of songwriting.<br \/><\/strong>Yeah. I was really afraid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Why?<br \/><\/strong>I just didn\u2019t think I was any good. And I think I very quickly started \u2014 and this is where great fortune meets its own complications \u2014 I very quickly started working with extraordinary musicians who were very intimidating. I I hadn\u2019t been able to meet people like that, I probably would\u2019ve made demos by myself in my room and put them on YouTube. But that wasn\u2019t the hand I was dealt. I was dealt a hand where it was like, \u201cHey, come over. I\u2019ve got the greatest guitar player in the world here, who wants to write a song with you.\u201d And that\u2019s a really intimidating environment to be like, \u201cBut maybe what about this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tI was really insecure and really afraid, and didn\u2019t think I was good enough and didn\u2019t see why my idea mattered when there were clearly so many better, more informed ideas in the room. And it took a while and a lot of encouragement from some people in my life to think that my idea was worthwhile, not because it was better. But because it was mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd that gets into the specificity \u2014 it is about expressing yourself. And when you\u2019re expressing yourself fully, ideally people can connect to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>What would be your pick for some of the greatest songs ever made?<br \/><\/strong>\u201cGolden Slumbers,\u201d I think, is one of the greatest songs of all time. I think \u201cTry a Little Tenderness\u201d is one of the greatest songs of all time. I think \u201cBeing Alive,\u201d Sondheim \u2014 one of the greatest songs of all time.
