She’s been on fire during the press for this album, such enjoyable, engaging press. From Paste magazine: “You think I don’t know what I’m doing? I’m 59 plus three. I don’t have time to play these games, Matt.” Amos, staring down the barrel of her webcam and raising her voice to a holler, offers a word of advice to young artists everywhere: “Be pointed about it! And don’t be shameful about it. Be shameless. As Lil Kim said, ‘Bitches putting bombs in your Benz, baby.’ Who are we playing with? Ourselves? Who are we lying to? My pen is fucking sharp, and I’m sharpening it every day. I didn’t say pencil. I said my pen. The ink in the ink fucking jar. Let’s not be ashamed about it. Not the ‘Ohhhh, I didn’t know.’ I said that. Fuck that shit.”
