Selena Gomez Chats ‘I Said I Love You First’ With Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez caught up with Rolling Stone to promote her new album, I Said I Love You First. This new album marks the first collaboration album with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Highlights from their interview are below.

On recording the new album: “That’s the most intimate I’ve ever been in a studio. We did everything from home, and we created it with people that we love.”

On how she approaches ballads: “I think it’s safe to say my strength in music would be just storytelling and the way that I just feel comfortable in a lower register and a softer tone. That’s something that I know I can bring to the table, so I just tried to highlight that. And so did Benny, while he was composing everything and putting it together. It was like, “What would be nice and soothing for my voice, nothing that sounded like I was trying to be anything else?” That was really important to me. To do these vulnerable songs, it’s nice because I’m in a different place than I was.”
