Released earlier this month, “Quiet in a World Full of Noise” is Richard’s second album with. The musical duo, who met in 2018 through indie pop musician Kimbra, previously worked on 2022’s “Pigments.”

“We give each other the space to really be ourselves,” said Zahn. “It’s a space that maybe is harder to access if you’re making music that is set out to be more commercial. Neither of us ever thought about that for better or for worse.”Richard appreciated that Zahn didn’t judge her lyrics as they were building songs: “If anything, he said, ‘Woo, OK, let me play. Let me build around it.’ And that’s what you hope for.”She sees “Quiet in a World Full of Noise” as a metamorphosis, a chance to lay bare some of her most intimate moments with the hope that listeners can find solace and comfort.

“I love the person that I’ve become. I love the musical person I’ve become. And this project speaks to what that journey has been and how I feel,” she said. “This is an honest process about me as a person, less about the things I’ve done and what I do, but who I am as a person and who I’m aspiring to be.”The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly as Richard has done.

NEW YORK (AP) — Connor Tomasko grew up wary of credit cards. As she taught herself more about managing money, she realized that many people also have bad habits when it comes to payment apps.

Tomasko, 31, a freelance software consultant in Chicago, understands why people appreciate the ease of the apps, which typically only require you to know someone’s username in order to send money. But she realized that keeping money in the apps could be risky and means losing out on the interest from a high yield savings account. She now immediately transfers any payments out of the apps and encourages friends to do the same.Republicans also hope to expand existing work requirements for recipients, which currently apply to people without dependants between the ages of 18 and 54. The current proposal would expand that to 64.

Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin said the proposal "is a slap in the face" to millions of Americans "who rely on food assistance programme to put food on the table and make sure their kids don't go hungry".Republicans argue the proposal would reduce government waste, promote work over welfare, and restore "common sense" to the programme.

The House Agriculture Committee has already approved $300m in cuts to the Snap programme to fund tax cuts.Government data shows that about 12% of Americans received Snap benefits last year, with the figure higher in some Republican-leaning states such as Alabama and Oklahoma.
