In the Zone

A sophisticated pivot into icy electronica and heavy R&B. Breathy, experimental, and defined by the high-tension production of the early 2000s club scene.

A cold, neon-lit club floor replaces the bright primary colors of teen pop on this self-curated fourth record. The music trades explosive, Swedish-engineered choruses for hypnotic, late-night grooves and intricate vocal arrangements that prioritize texture, breath, and a mysterious, whisper-pop delivery. By taking the reins as co-executive producer, she steers her sound into a sophisticated, internationalist fusion where electronic experimentation meets urban contemporary rhythms.
