Reneé Rapp gets candid about her transformative year and her upcoming second album

The album will be a reflection on the personal growth and challenges Rapp faced during her transformative 23rd year.

Former Dork cover star Reneé Rapp has opened up about the significant personal growth and challenges she faced during her 23rd year, which will serve as the central theme for her highly-anticipated second album.

Following up on her debut album 'Snow Angel' and her role in the 'Mean Girls' movie musical, the now 24-year-old discussed her new project in the latest instalment of Instagram's Close Friends Only podcast.

Rapp delved into her creative process for the new album, recounting a particularly challenging day that led to a cathartic songwriting session. "I think one of the last songs I wrote, I had such a terrible day. I just had such a bad day and just like bad experiences, and I was like I have nowhere else to go with my thoughts because obviously I can't put them outward in this moment, therefore I will be like mentally just writing," she explained.

Rapp believes that these intense emotions often fuel her best work. "I think the rawness of those emotions adds a layer of authenticity to my music. It's like, in that moment of vulnerability, I can tap into something deeper and more genuine. The song I ended up writing that day captured exactly what I was feeling – the frustration, the sadness, everything. It turned out to be one of my most honest pieces."

She added, "Every artist has their own way of dealing with their emotions, and for me, writing has always been therapeutic. Whether I'm having a good day or a bad day, writing helps me make sense of my experiences."
