“Asylum- this project is a representation of how I felt in my mind trying to grasp an industry I was blessed to be thrown in, an artistic portrayal of emotions and feelings, of growth, highs and lows and all the in betweens. It’s been a journey creating something I love, and I hope y’all love it too,” she wrote on social media.
The 23-year-old is also set to take the Amapiano genre to one of the biggest stages in the world, Coachella.
