Alina Lucia is sitting cross-legged on the couch in her flat in Berlin, talking about a project she has not released and may never release. "Some songs are just for me," she says. What follows is an edited Q&A. **RW:** You started writing this album in 2023. What changed by the time you started recording? **AL:** Almost everything. I had this idea it would be more electronic, more produced. But after the first sessions I scrapped half of it and started again with just guitar and voice.
