Shatter brings her closer to the gospel, blues and reggae tracks found on her early demos when she first arrived in Los Angeles.Johnstone states "Shatter is about reclaiming your power by giving it up and looking deep at your shortcomings while finding the courage to change. The old self shatters in order to find a better self."
