"When I went into this one though, I knew I wanted it to be something very personal to me and tangible. I don't know why but, my brain calls the shots and I'm just a passenger, so I was like ok, 'I'm going to think of things' and I wrote down a list of things that felt like they were a part of my life naturally the list was very long. I really wanted something vintage and girly sounding and Locket was one of the words that was on there from the start. And I was like, 'I think this is the title.'
