From that mountain of words came a record that’s pop-forward, poetry-laced, and emotionally razor-sharp. We talk about how seeing St. Vincent live in 2018 completely changed how she thought about performance — and how wild it is that she’s now opening for her at the Halifax Jazz Festival. We also get into her journey from student of the sciences to full-time artist, her longtime collaboration with producer Erin Costelo , and what it’s like to walk that fine line between excitement and anxiety — about how they might actually be the same feeling, just showing up in a different outfit. And, in perhaps my favourite part of our chat, we talk about preparation . About how planning, focus, and intentionality don’t kill creativity — they sharpen it. Leanne Hoffman might just be making rehearsals cool again, and I'm all for it. Leanne Hoffman on Instagram Wanna get in touch Wanna get in touch?
