Newly married songstress Ameriie had a sit down exclusively with Billboard.com to talk a little bit about her fifth studio album, Cymatika, Vol. 1, and even a reunion with producer Rich Harrison.
Q: What are the core genres of the album?
A: Trance and electronic. ’80′s new wave, but not in the sense of the sound, particularly, but more so the song structures themselves. I really wanted to try different things. Even with vocal approach, some of the songs my sister listened to and she didn’t even know it was me. I wanted to experiment with androgyny.Q: In Love & War was about the gray area between being in love and not. Now that you’re a married woman, is that something you touch upon on Cymatika, Vol. 1?
A: This particular album is different as far as the subject matter. I kind of went in a place I didn’t go before. Relationships are very important to talk about but I also want to go a little deeper in to what it is that makes us human and what we have in common.Q: Which producers are you working with?
