, which launched the hit single "The World Should Revolve Around Me
".

Songwriting and artistic vision
Coppola says her songwriting is fused through a pop sensibility, within which she exercises her creativity and individuality. She indicates that her tastes and musical influences are diverse, including classical, which she acknowledges can be a problem in an industry that wants its artists to be clearly defined. Coppola decided to write in whatever genre she wanted. She describes her focus on The Black and White Album as "more experimental, more punk, more rock." Coppola also incorporates theater into her performance with her visual creativity, donning different wigs or makeup during performances.Coppola uses a different process when she is songwriting for herself than when she is songwriting for another artist or writing on spec. She says, "My brain changes, my thought processes, my body language changes, the way I work changes....; When you do work for other artists, it’s definitely more of a job and it requires a lot of tools."
Among her career goals, she hopes to produce and develop other artists.
Personal life
Coppola lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where she continues to struggle with the racial friction she endured as a child. Coppola says, "I have issues with white people AND black people. There's this double standard where the white world went out of its way to stop making fun of black people, but black people feel entitled to make fun of white people and other kinds of people. I'm speaking emotionally, because I'm a little raw and salty from living in the 'hood and not fitting in." A private person, Coppola also struggles with the modern demands for artist accessibility in the music world, with such demands as online interviews and video blogs. In making choices in her own life, she is torn between respect and resentment at the legacy left by her parents. She says, "My parents are both artists and we starved, we went through a lot of difficulty growing up because of their choices in life... When it comes down to making important decisions about my life and my foundation, you know, their artistic side haunts me. Like maybe I should just do what they did."Albums
