Speaking to Billboard about the EP, Cailin reveals “I’m so grateful to finally release my second EP ‘The Drama,’ and to also have it be the foundation to my future sounds. Cheers and thank you to new wave for saving my life at the end of 2018. And thank you to my muse that burned me… without that I couldn’t have rebuilt. I learned that through trauma comes pain.
