I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.
My first album done what it had to do. It introduced me.
Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.
My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me.
The first album was a very successful record. It made me very visible and it's an immediate association, but I don't do that anymore. Now I'm true to myself as an artist again. I'm more vocally oriented.
With the first album, I wanted to do so many different things, and I was fighting with myself to try and see if I was worthy enough to do it.
My first album is playful.
My first album was called 'Badlands,' and it's something that I think I'm most proud of having done in my life.
I could have taken the easy life and just done classical, but I felt very strongly about the album, my first pop album, the first time that I'd fused so many influences. I was very proud when it was in the charts in 25 countries at once.
I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.
