Los Angeles, March 29

Singer-actress Halle Bailey is sharing the changes that she has experienced after embracing motherhood.

The actress-singer has said that she has felt things "even deeper" since becoming a mother, reports 'Female First UK'.

The 25-year-old actress has opened up about the transformative effect that motherhood has had on her creativity, and Halle admits that welcoming her child has changed her outlook on life entirely.

Speaking to the Guardian, Halle shared, "When you have a child, you feel things even deeper. A whole new portal of universal love opens up, a love that I never expected. My love for my child is so big, it feels like the moon. I love that I feel like a different person. I would definitely say it's made everything better for me, creatively, as a writer, as an artist and as a mom".

As per 'Female First UK', Halle, who starred as Ariel in Disney's live-action 'The Little Mermaid', believes that her emotional depth as a musician has grown significantly since becoming a parent.

The actress, who has Halo, two, with ex-boyfriend DDG, said, "In music especially, I feel things very deeply. I think that's when you're at your best, when you can write clearly about the things you feel so deeply".

The singer also opened up about her faith, revealing that she draws strength from her Christian upbringing in Atlanta, Georgia.

Halle said, "I feel I was given whatever this is, this voice, and I'm supposed to do something with it, to give it back. My grandparents would quote from the Bible, 'To whom much is given, much is expected'. When you're given something, you must do good with it and give it back to God in some way, and I feel like I try to do that every day".

Meanwhile, Halle has revealed that she still turns to Beyoncé for advice, likening the Grammy-winning star to a "cool auntie".

She shared, "I've known her since I was 15 and she took my sister and me under her wing. She just lets you fly. She's there if you need her".

Interesting perspective. While I appreciate her honesty, I feel the article focuses a bit too much on the 'magic' of motherhood. It's a huge change, yes, but it also comes with immense challenges that can stifle creativity for many. A more balanced view would have been good.

Her point about drawing strength from faith really resonates. In India, whether it's through bhajans, qawwalis, or gospel music, so many artists say their spiritual grounding is their true source of creativity. Good for her for acknowledging that.

"My love for my child is so big, it feels like the moon." What a beautiful and relatable way to put it! As a new mom myself, I completely understand this shift in perspective. It changes everything, including how you see your own work.

Having Beyoncé as a "cool auntie" for advice must be incredible! Jokes aside, it's heartwarming to see senior artists mentoring the next generation. We need more of this guru-shishya parampara in the global industry too.

As an artist, I find this so inspiring. Life experiences, especially profound ones like becoming a parent, are the best fuel for creation. Can't wait to hear her new music with this deeper emotional depth she's talking about!
