I'm sure she went into more details on the announcement stream, but she's also posted a few words on YT community:

My new album is coming, everyone! The "go-getter" album of all my releases, so to speak...listening back to just the tracks we've already recorded, and the demos I've received, I'm already feeling this as my favorite release so far. Studio sessions went from 3 hours to 7 hours, and I'm really thinking critically about my work these days, and what you guys hear. But worry not, I'm still having a good time!

Truth is, it was rough before working on this album. I really felt like music was becoming something hard for me to listen to and engage with, and there are various reasons but slowly and surely I began listening to music again and loving it, just as I used to. I think a lot of that shows up in this release.

I don't want to give away too much about the themes this album encompasses, but I'll give you a small idea...the concept of "Pantomime" and putting on a show of how you are feeling, thinking, and showing yourself to the world around you. Every day, we pantomime our ways through life and do what we must for survival in various parts of our lives. Being dragged into different "faces" and masks that we wear, playing multiple roles in the stage show that is our lives.

But beneath the surface, what's actually going on?

I like the cover art.

But not the dollar sign.
