But the often overlooked aspect of being a rising star is the sheer amount of work that goes into it. “I had been on the road for a long time, which is so isolating, and had to run my own business at the same time,” \u003cstrong\u003eMitski\u003c\/strong\u003e explains, “a lot of this record was me not having any feelings, being completely spent, but then trying to rally myself and wake up and get back to \u003cstrong\u003eMitski\u003c\/strong\u003e. I was feeling really nihilistic and trying to make pop songs.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe want our artists to be strong but we also expect them to be vulnerable. Rather than avoiding this dilemma, she addresses directly the power that comes from appearing impenetrable and loneliness that follows. “With a lot of the romantic infatuations I’ve had,” she says, “when I look back, I wonder, Did I want them or did I want to be them?
