Beth Phoenix talks about the creative process of her new album.
Recently, Beth Phoenix released her first-ever EP on both YouTube and Spotify. This is a departure from the Glamazon that wrestling fans got used to every week on WWE television
Instinct Culture by Denise Salcedo interviewed NXT announcer Beth Phoenix about her debut EP "Stone Rose & Bone" and the new NXT 2.0. In the interview, Beth Phoenix opens up about releasing her album and how WWE helped the process along.
"I had made friends with a lot of people in the WWE Music Group, and my friend Elias had put out an album, and it just kinda started becoming a possibility, I sent some rough sketches of these songs on piano and sent the lyrics over and they said 'let's record these, let's do it.' And so since the opportunity arose, I was like 'Okay, Let's go for it! I've never done anything like this and I was just really excited to put it out in the world and not just be playing my music at home."
The album also helped Beth Phoenix express feelings of a great loss as she lost her father 3 years ago. In the interview, Beth explains how this album was therapeutic for her.
"I lost my dad three years ago, this was kinda a great way for me to process some of those feelings and emotions, you kinda start to heal from the trauma of losing someone really close to you, but that loss is that gap, that big piece of you that is missing and is still always there and that's kinda what I worked through were some of those emotions. After that it brought up other emotions and other stories, I've written little songs here and there over the years but this was my first formal go at it. There's a lot of myself in all four of these songs. "
