She also described Born Free as massive. "It's still very much Lira, but it's like leaps. It's just grown in bounds. It feels epic, it feels bold, it feels strong, it feels assertive, definitive, it feels like I'm just ready for something massive and I really am. I just didn't know how it was gonna come out."
