I have tried to make the music a bit easier for them to understand.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have sometimes been told that my music is 'difficult' for the listener.
I work very hard on getting the songs as direct and examined as I can before I go in the studio.
To me, our music is like Jamaican stuff - if they can't hear it, they're not supposed to hear it. It's not for them if they can't understand it.
The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing.
I think people have been really receptive to understanding that I've grown up and the music's going to sound a little different.
I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.
The music stuff has been very difficult. It's got to be right, and even then, it better be on key.
I think the thing I've always tried to do is - and I didn't plan it, it just started to come out that way - is try to make challenging music that flirts with accessibility.
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work.
I never think my music isn't easy until I got to teach it to other people.
