However, she revealed how different her experience was from working as a musical theatre actress.

“It’s kind of like asking if a ten-speed bike and a Harley are the same thing,” she said, adding, “Technically, yeah, it’s the same genus, but the specifics are completely different, and I had to learn how to ride a Harley, you know, the intricacies of the voice to the microphone.”

The Idea of You actress continued, “It’s not something I’d ever really gotten to play around with, and that took a while for me to wrap my head around, but I had an amazing guide in Jack Antonoff.”

She further explained that he kept on giving her notes during recording sessions and over the time period. She reflected on his guidance until they gradually shaped the music into what listeners hear today.

Mother Mary was released on April 17.
