Background

Nunes launched a Kickstarter page for her fourth album on June 11, 2011, .[1] She exceeded her goal of $15,000 in less than a day, receiving over $19,000. The project gathered $77,888 total in donations.[2] The album was released on February 28, 2012.[3]

Composition

"He is Mad", "Pizza", and "I Wasn't Worried" are mini-songs roughly a minute in length, all of which Nunes recorded videos for and posted to YouTube.[4][5][6] Other songs, like "Odd", "Balloons", "First Impressions", "Comatose", and "Into the Sunshine" appeared on previous albums, but were re-recorded for Settle Down.

Promotion

Nunes updated the Kickstarter project page with a video of her performing "Stay Awake" in the Kickstarter offices (thanks to the overwhelming success of her campaign).[7] On January 24, 2012, she performed "Stay Awake" on Conan to promote the album.[8]
