Speaking of “Stardust”, von Hausswolff comments: “Let's break up with basic convenience and established ideas of how to live life. Let's not roll our thumbs when the world is crumbling.” Meanwhile, discussing “The Whole Woman”, she reflects: “Sometimes we need to throw ourselves into the deepest of waters and hold our breath as long as we can. Once we reach the surface we can see beyond the pettiness of life and speak only the truth. This love song is a tribute to the man who knows how to listen; it is for the woman who is brave enough to dive in.”
