It could be Grammy night, Oscar night, whatever - I don't feel the pressure to be there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.
I had no idea what to expect when we did Ladies' Night. I didn't think it was going to get nominated for a Grammy. I didn't know that we would have to perform on the MTV Awards show.
The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.
The night I was recognized for 'Daughters' at the Grammys was the night this record started. I knew I had bought the time to learn everything I needed before I started this one. 'Continuum' is not a shot in the dark, it's not a guesstimation.
We want to make something that moves us when we hear it. Because after all the hype and awards and whatever, that's all music is.
Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show.
The Grammy is the highest honor in music that we can receive, outside of having fans come and watch you every night and clap.
There's always pressure on the second album - this one has to be the big one.
All my life, I was even just wanted to attend the Grammys, like, just be there, so the fact that I'm nominated for Best New Artist, it feels like a dream.
I want every Grammy.
