Or big songs. Or radio songs. Or streaming songs or whatever,’” she recalls. “‘But you need to realize that that doesn’t fucking matter. We don’t live in that world anymore, and I’m not that artist.’
“I’ve never seen my music as particularly niche,” she went on. “There’s plenty of room for the avant-garde on a commercial level in pop music.”
