"you recently revealed that you're finally putting out your debut album. I went back and I looked, and I didn't even realize you first appeared on the Billboard charts in 2013, and then you put out your debut single in 2019. How does it feel to both be at this place where you're finally going to have that out, but also, how does it feel, I guess, that it's been so long since you've been working to get it released?"
Dove: I'm going to be honest, I have been talking about writing and planning an album for as long as I had been signed with my label, and I had aspirations for it way before that. And there was a very long stretch of time where they simply would not greenlight the album. It was done multiple times. It wasn't even about them not feeling that it was ready. I don't even know if they heard some of the music. I think it was just like, not now, not now, not now. God knows why. I have no idea why!
