Skin was probably one of the easiest, most organic songs for me to write! I had just gotten home from the cigar lounge my friend and I chill at ( shout out Big Buddha woot woot) and I poured myself a glass of cherry wine. Drinking naturally leads to cooking random things- I thought trying to make a BBQ pasta sauce was a good idea ( not so much haha) and began singing a melody. Blame it on the BBQ sauce, the cigars or the classic cherry wine- but it was magic!

Long story short, I wanted to sum up who I was as a nerdy, quiet child to the tatted up, artsy fartsy, outspoken woman I became. The lyrics are sort of a metaphor to that change with things that became a piece of me as I discovered who I truly was.

When I went to the studio the next day to write some tunes with Rob (Thorne) I was all excited for him to jam to these haunting & simple chords on the baby grand, and when I sang "Get f***ed on champagne," we both burst out laughing. It was a total like "wow we are just TOO cool" moment. He had just gotten this rad new mic for the studio and this was the first song recorded on it- total honor and something I will always remember with this song! I hope you all enjoy- stay tuned for the rest of the record! Thank you for listening!
