The mini albumThe Visitor EP was first self-released in September 2015,[3] then re-released with new bonus tracks under the name The Visitor in October 2016, as a partnership between two independent record labels, Fat Possum Records and Fresh Selects,[7] receiving critical praise[8][9] and extensive radio air play.
Her second album, Childqueen, written while touring abroad, was released on June 8, 2018.[10]
