Rilo Kiley was a rock band, so I wanted my solo records to feel different.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As funny as it sounds, the best thing I got out of making a solo record was to realize how much I love being in a band.
I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.
I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.
By the time I did that third solo album, I'd finally learned how to do it, but I'd also learned that I liked being in a band.
I didn't make a solo album until the year 2000.
I never imagined I'd be a solo artist. And now I couldn't imagine being part of a group.
Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.
I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.
I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.
