"I was going through a very stormy period in my life and felt like I was just completely trashed," continues Barnes in a press release. "I might be guilty of sharing or exposing too much of my private life, but to me the best albums are those that help people connect with an artist on a deep, human level and that do so without too much artifice or evasiveness."
