The article is lengthy and it includes video clips of some of her other work, so I'll only post the relevant excerpt here. You can view the entire interview at

I have to know: Tell me about working with Barry Manilow on his album Fifteen Minutes, singing the song “Letter From a Fan.”
"It was a really memorable experience; he was a super, super cool, really nice, warm, friendly dude. It was a very Kafka-esque experience, where you kind of walk into a world and expect it to be a certain way and then it’s just really not what you expected. This studio we were recording in was at a guy’s house and you had to first walk through this really nice mansion, and then a kiddie pool and a bunch of toys all over the place, and you finally got to the very back and there was this tiny studio where Barry Manilow was smoking an electronic cigarette, and telling you how he wanted you to “feel the role.”
It was very much like being hired for theater as opposed to being hired to sing as I would normally sing. So he coached me on every line and it was really funny actually. And I think he got what he wanted—I did a pretty good job embodying the crazy, stalker fan."
