Mariel Buckley

"I made a conscious effort on this album to be more disciplined in my writing because my ideas were getting stale and I was writing from the same place," Mariel Buckley told me. "I realized that my material was becoming repetitive when I was waiting for inspiration to strike." 

Buckley's new process involved writing every day and writing from a more joyful place. The result is her fantastic new album Strange Trip Ahead.
