In Conversation With Dua Saleh - KALTBLUT Magazine
Briefly

The inspiration stems from my personal relationships with past lovers and one long-term partner. I also use this album as an allegory for environmental concerns I have about the Earth deteriorating. Basically, the lovers and humans and Earth, so it's about the spiritual propinquity that people have to our planet. The album follows two starcrossed lovers who find each other as the world falls apart.
Recently, it’s been about making my music emotionally accessible. Sometimes poetry is helpful thematically, and in storytelling, but I’ve been trying to integrate cultural monikers that most people are aware of so they can understand the potency of the feelings, and fully grasp what the song is about.
I think my lived experiences always influence whatever I'm a part of.
