Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege. ↗

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody. ↗

I'm trying to open up my range and really sing more. With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation,' it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more. ↗
