"She's had a lot of time to continuously develop and we've done a lot of different types of songs that have changed over the years. But I'm definitely rooting for her. I'm sure that some of the songs that we've done in the past year or two or whatever during the process of the album, you'll hear."

"I've been finishing up a few artists' albums, which has been really, really exciting," Parx said. "There are some things that you'll be seeing on this side of the year. And then there's a few records that we started earlier, right before quarantine, that'll be dropping over the next few months."
Parx named Little Mix, Ariana Grande, and Tori Kelly as examples of artists she's been spending studio time with.
"I think it's mainly been just kind of getting back to just people that I'm comfortable with," she added. "Normani, of course. It's been nice."
