To remain relevant though, I think making great records is the key.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We certainly strive for trying to make a quality record throughout, and I think that's true of all of our records.
I just to put out the best records I can and perform the best I can.
It leaves a good legacy to have five records.
I don't have the desire to just keep every record and put it out. That's not what I do. I make records for people; that's why I just continue to be consistent, where a lot of the other top writers, they kind of fell off because they started focusing on their own careers as artists. That's not where my head is at.
Some amazing records have this power to leave you with inspiration; you're left with the urge to write something. And some records are totally overwhelming, because they are so good, they burn the bridges behind them.
I've frowned at the idea of breaking records, the first one to do something, or do it longer, higher, more difficult.
I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.
I would rather write or record something great and have it overlooked than do mediocre work and have it be popular.
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
Records... a record just shouldn't be that important.
