Summary
Alana Springsteen said her newly released second studio album, "I Hope This Helps," is her most autobiographical work and grew out of feeling like a "black sheep" in her small-town hometown.
The 25-year-old said she felt out of place because she dreamed of traveling and performing in stadiums, while many around her stayed local, married and started families.
Springsteen said the album forced her to confront fears and stop prioritizing others' opinions, calling the project a healing exercise in being fully authentic even if misunderstood.
The release follows her 2023 debut "Twenty Something" and opening slots on Luke Bryan and Keith Urban tours in 2024 and 2025, underscoring how far those ambitions have carried her.
