Background

In an interview with Apple Music, Stella describes Three. Two. One. as "releasing myself from the pressure of prior expectations and intimidations. Three, two, one, I’m diving in and doing what feels good to myself. The album is a free fall. Ultimately, I wanted [this album] to be an honest introduction, true to who I am as a human being, and hopefully people will draw parallels to their own lives.[2] The track "Save Us" features an interpolation of British singer Donna Lewis's 1996 hit "I Love You Always Forever".[3] The song "Jealous" features songwriting credits from Finneas and production from Joel Little.[4]

gollark: Samsung tends to have pretty high pricing compared to other brands now.
gollark: But I can't actually figure out where I put it and my phone can do the same thing, so it's a bit limited in use.
gollark: I have a cheap 64GB USB stick from Toshiba or something for use as a live USB and stuff.
gollark: It makes sense for data you can't replace easily, I guess. But mostly I just have important stuff replicated onto multiple things.
gollark: Flash storage does seem to be generally pretty reliable as long as it doesn't break particularly soon or have some sort of horrible flaw, so I do now go for whatever's fairly cheap and has decent reviews. Obviously backups are important regardless of how reliable you assume your thing is.
