My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.

With this new album, I prepared for it a long time, and I was happy with the songs and the production. I felt that I proved myself with the first album, and with this new album, I just want to share some of my music. And that was always my feeling and my intention.

The first album was a very successful record. It made me very visible and it's an immediate association, but I don't do that anymore. Now I'm true to myself as an artist again. I'm more vocally oriented.

My first album done what it had to do. It introduced me.

I'm not the best singer in the world, but the albums have always been personal. They're stories about me and what I'm going through.

The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my 'Cry' album, because sonically, I think it's my best album to date. But other than that, I've never listened to my records, ever.

In the past, I've been a bit diffident about my own albums, almost excusing them for some reason, even though deep down I felt strongly about them.

I have a lot of albums yet to do.

Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.
