Single: Tell me the story behind the song:

 I had a lover who would wake in the middle of the night to have full on conversations with me, only to wake up with no recollection of the shared moment. One night, he woke me up to tell me he loved me, and of course, had no idea the next morning. I originally wrote the song on my guitar, eventually bringing the song to my co-writer, Ely Rise (known for co-writing “Stupid Love” with Lady Gaga) who wrote a masterful piano accompaniment. Everytime I sing this song, it makes my heart shine, and then break a little by the end. I hope it moves the listener as much as it does me.

What is the song about?

My song “Too Much” is all about putting yourself out there, vulnerably to your partner. A lot of times, when people take that risk, the pendulum swings in the other direction, and we want to run away defensively. I like to stay in that high risk, high reward chapter of the heart. “Too Much” is an invitation to run away together. To meet your lover, out there on that limb and then take the plunge side by side.
