There are a million ways for artists to connect with the world\/fans now, and many do so and share some of the most vulnerable\/emotional moments with them.

Hill could have asked for a 20-piece back-up band and ran through her biggest hits, but rather, she chooses to peel back from her pop-star self. The ideas may be underdeveloped and melodies not fully worked out, but Hill is giving her audience a direct \u0026amp; sincere look at the very headspace she is occupying.
