And then there’s the music. Sorry is a rock album,<br />
but one that reflects its era -- a time when it<br />
could take a dance remix to send an alternative<br />
track up the charts. “A Bolt From the Blue” already<br />
sounds like it could be synthed-up remix<br />
of a more traditional guitar song, a deft move<br />
for an artist whose first radio hit, “Desire,” got<br />
its share of Nine Inch Nails comparisons.<br />
shows in some of my videos. I wanted to get a<br />
little weird with this one. Onstage I know the<br />
shows can be intense and emotional, but I think<br />
I’m more of a weird person than dark. I’ve been<br />
going to radio stations a lot and doing meet and<br />
greets… It’s funny because when I meet people<br />
in person, they’ll be like, ‘Wow you’re so different<br />
than I expected.’”<br />

Even after jumping to Atlantic, Myers continued<br />
to work with<br />
longtime creative<br />
partner Dr. Rosen<br />
Rosen, who<br />
produced Sorry<br />

Myers revealed<br />
she explored other<br />
collaborators, but opted to keep her debut<br />
a singular experience. She’s already thinking<br />
about album number two, and she shared those<br />
thoughts, in addition to a laundry list of the best<br />
and craziest things her fans have done so far.<br />
And it’s probably going to get weirder.<br />
“I wanted to step away from getting too dark<br />
for this one, because I feel I’m getting labeled<br />
over the last couple years as really dark. That<br />
I tried some sessions working with other people<br />
and there was<br />
something cool<br />
about it, but not<br />
for this album. I<br />
want to make an<br />
album with one<br />
person. I don’t<br />
want to have a<br />
bunch of songs with different people because<br />
that doesn’t make sense for someone like me.<br />
My songs are driven by my emotions and things<br />
that I go through and you can really only open<br />
up to one person at a time.<br />
I wanted to get a little weird<br />
with this one. Onstage I know<br />
the shows can be intense and<br />

One person specifically -- I’m not going to say<br />
who it is -- I did enjoy working with. I don’t<br />
know if I would do something later or not…<br />
Who knows. When it’s time to make a second<br />
