The thing is, my life is a country song. I don't need to be manufactured, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to say or what to sing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, you know, people don't know me as a country artist and I am new to the genre. But that's how I grew up singing.
Undeniably, I'm a country singer; I'm a country songwriter. But I feel like I make country music for people who like country music and for people who don't.
A country song is a song about life.
Write your own songs. It helps you to mean what you're singing, which will then make it mean something to listeners.
Even though I'm a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.
I've always wanted to sing country music.
I wondered how people would take me being a country music singer. I thought about deviating from that and singing other things. But... it doesn't really make sense for me to try to be something that I'm not.
I sing about life.
You gotta 'be' country music - you can't just sing it.
I don't sing country music because I'm not capable of singing other kinds of music; I sing it because I think it's the most beautiful kind of music there is.
