‘From the outside, people may be a bit sceptical; they wonder what these collaborations really are, Galway told WWD in a recent interview. ‘But I can tell you, Kanye was on the phone with me pretty much every day, sending me sketches.

All of us, we sit in our worlds, we have our comfort zones and they’re too short. You have to stretch yourself.’
