Fans will see a different side of Vanessa Carlton when she releases her next studio album. For her forthcoming project, which is the follow up to 2011's 'Rabbits on the Run,' the “A Thousand Miles” hitmaker says she will be experimenting with sounds more loosely than before.

“We’re going to do something sort of like a, it’s really an electronic dance-pop record,” Carlton told The Observer. “It’s going to be different. I think it’s oddly a natural progression from ‘Rabbits.’ I don’t really know how I can explain that in a way that makes sense, but once I think we start making the tracks, it will make sense. I’m really, really excited.”

So what's inspiring this new direction for Carlton? “I’m very inspired by Shamanism and right now, I’m kind of revisiting a lot of old mythological tales and kind of psychedelic poetry,” she adds.

She continues: “I’m an ongoing, working, evolving person, you know? Because we all are,” she said. “I think my biggest triumph, I guess, was the fundamental shift I had a couple years ago where I just kind of devoted myself to being as authentic and generous and happy as I possibly could be, and just really appreciating the wonderful people and creatures in my life."
