Rock star Taylor Momsen recently talked about her latest album art, and how she has been embracing the dark side.

In an interview with Hunger TV posted on Wednesday, the Just Tonight singer talked about her album artwork for Going to Hell, the latest album for her band The Pretty Reckless. The artwork shows a picture of Momsen appearing naked with a cross on her back.

"I was trying to make a classic photo like the album covers I love, like 'Wish You Were Here' or Clapton's 'E.C. Was Here.' I honestly never thought about the nudity thing," Momsen said. "I was trying to express that when we leave this world, you don't take nothing with you, but our soul...think... (to of course quote John Lennon)."

The rock star also talked about the concept of women and sexuality in music, saying there's not enough debate.

"We should be talking about violence, we are all sexual," Momsen said. "Sexuality is ubiquitous and beautiful, we shouldn't be violent, that's the real ugly thing in the world, whether it's towards each other or nature, peace and love should be the goal, that's why The Beatles were so important, that was their message."

Momsen also revealed that she believes that the "dark" side is actually the "real" side, and that she wants to help people conquer their fears.

"The fact is reality now is pretty scary," the rocker said. ""Popular music seems to be really focusing on escaping, and everyone just wants to have a 'good time' kind of s---, but I want to give people something to listen to that allows them to escape into a different world, something that really connects with them deep down, not just going to the club or focusing on escaping the fears of reality, I want to make them something that helps them through that fear, not escape it."
