Read highlights and watch the full interview below.

On being compared to Sade: “When people make those comparisons to Sade, I see that. I would never say it myself because people try to kill me if I compare myself to anyone that is that great.”

On her album: “I would say it’s mellow, nice message, just real chill, ride off into the sunset type of music.”

On rumors she dated Drake and Childish Gambino: “I’m a young lady so if I work with you, that means we went out or whatever or that we love each other? I’m friends with both of them.”

On what she listens to: “I put on Tupac Pandora or Biggie Pandora. Kid Cudi, John Mayer. I listen to Drake, I listen to Kendrick, I still like Frank Ocean’s album.”

On the minimal features on her album: “The EP had a lot of features and I just want it to be my album, so people could really see what I do.”

On her sister Mila J: “We don’t work together. It’s weird, but it’s not. I feel like the style of music that I’m doing, where I wanna go, maybe doesn’t meet up with the style that she’s doing or where she is now.”
