I am particularlyintriguedbythe textatthe topof the
poster,“I toldya.I was trouble.”AsI feel the poster
wouldn’tbe the same withoutit,whichisahighly
significantpointtolookat.Thistextreflectsthe artistasa
person,asit comesacross to the audience thatshe isa bit

inspire people to‘letthemselvesgo’andtherefore
implyinghermusiccanletpeople escape andbecome a
little more carefree, whichiswhatIfeel musicshoulddo;
letpeople escape andbecome trulyinvolvedwiththe
musictheyare listeningto.
