QUICK Q&A

Kaiti Jones MSW17 

The singer-songwriter discusses her sophomore album, Tossed.

What is the power of music? I had this T-shirt in college that I loved with a quote by Beethoven: Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music has the ability to convey emotion, prompt introspection, and just bring out and conjure feelings in peoplewith or without words. There just something holy and mystical about what it does.

How would you describe your music? That the ongoing challenge. Today, I would sayand tomorrow I will probably change my mind, or even in five minuteslyric-driven or story-driven indie-folk-rock.

What themes do you explore on the new album? I like to write about what it is to be a personthe contradictions of being a person. There are a few songs on the record where Im calling out dichotomies, of feeling all these different things in one moment. I can feel at home and homesick. I can feel really confident and arrived, and also completely brand-new and that I know nothing.
