“A WOMAN” Q&A
-
How did Qveen decide when it’s the right time for a full album?
Qveen for Forbes Magazine: “So the timing of the album is perfect for me. Of course me and my team had goals that we wanted to hit, like a hundred million streams or like two million streams a week on Spotify. We’re way over a million monthly listeners. So there are numbers as an indie artist you do want to pay attention to because nobody at a label is telling you, “Okay, it’s time to do this.” You have to make the decision on your own. So we try to be professional in that we look at the numbers. But nine EPs was, to me, the completion of my artist development that I did publicly. And it was time to do the album because I finally merged with my higher self, who I’ve been calling Qveen Herby because she lifted me up out of a lot of my fear around being an artist. I feel like I’ve actually arrived and I’m comfortable calling myself an artist for the first time.”
