Reid toured the record as best she could, she put on hold her plans to move to the UK, attended to the steady rhythms of living. In July of 2021, she gave birth to her first daughter, Elliotte; her second, Goldie, arrived this past Spring. Shortly before, Reid finally relocated to the UK, settling in Manchester.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnter Now Brightness\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is a record of poise and great beauty, the sound of a cellular shift, of pain giving way to tenderness and joy. Reid was pregnant during its creation, and plagued by morning sickness — there are photos of her asleep on the studio sofa and memories of vomiting between takes. But she found impending motherhood, and, later, the intricate process of raising her daughter, brought a new focus for songwriting.
