"If we are going to have to recalibrate everything then we should start with what we love the most first."
She adds: "It is an album that allows you to feel your feelings and it a product of isolation.
"This could have been a time when I absolutely lost my mind and instead I think, you know, this album was a real flotation device for both of us."
