#song

If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you're living at the time, I think that's the most important part of a song. ↗

If you look at a lot of the songs I've been involved in, there's always been this retro vibe. I started getting worried that I wasn't moving forward very much, nor was I even in tune with the music today. I almost scoffed at it. ↗

It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place. ↗

We have this really retro vibe and style of songwriting and, personally, I wasn't embracing the current state of music until I fell in love with hip-hop. It felt good to suddenly embrace where music was headed, and I think hip-hop is the best at that, because it feels so progressive and everybody wants to be the best. ↗

My songwriting and my style became more complex as I listened, learned, borrowed and stole and put my music together. ↗

There's a whole lot of songs that men just can't do. The words are from another time and represent too much of an emotional commitment, whereas women can say that because of who they are. ↗

A so-called happy marriage corresponds to love as a correct poem to an improvised song. ↗

I love our industry. I love the song. I love the voice. I love it. Not necessarily my voice. But I care about the song and the voice. ↗
