ed ‘No Good’ and she also discussed her participation in The Boys & Girls Club of America’s new PSA. Check out a few excerpts:

Let’s talk about new music you have coming out. 

Yes, I am so excited. The track ‘Never too Far Away’ is from the movie ‘Dream House’ that is coming out tomorrow with Daniel Craig. The title to the movie was a phenomenal experience.

Did they tell you, here is the movie, can you write a track ? Or did you say I have this great track.

L.T Hutton invited me, we worked together, he said this is going to be an amazing opportunity. You get in here and write this.

So many people want to do what you’re doing. For some reason they don’t make it. What do you think the ticket is ?

I think you have to have passion, drive, you have to understand it’s about rejection. You’re going to get rejected way more than you’re accepted. You have to be determined, believe in yourself despite the haters. There will always be someone telling you, you can’t do it. Follow your dreams.

When does the album come out ?

The single. First of all, the single is called-it’s so exclusive. I haven’t told anybody this. It’s called ‘No Good.’ My official single will be out very soon. It’s so phenomenal.
