“I’m really particularly looking forward to touring because I just know I’m going to enjoy it. Sometimes it’s tough performing the emotional songs over and over and over again,“Goulding shared with PEOPLEfollowing its debut.
“This is muchmore of a pop venture than a personal ventureof deeper feelings and poetry,” she added. “It just felt like being a kid again. I could do what I wanted. I wasn’t overthinking the lyrics. It’s so nice to do music that doesn’t feel like it has to be overly interpreted and analyzed. It was just a bunch of great songs.”
