The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.

I'm thrilled we've got a new single out, as singles were the way I first got into music as a child.

The music business has changed incredibly. There used to be 50 record companies. Now there's only three, and it's just getting smaller and smaller. But then again, you have the Internet, so anybody who has music can get it out there.

The music technology scene is changing so fast it's hard to keep up.

As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.

I may just keep releasing singles 'til I run out of music, which is kind of cool in a way - as long as people don't go, 'Oh my God, not another one!'

They say the music you listen to in your formative years stays with you and leaves an impression for the rest of your life. For me, the things that I fell in love with happened in the '70s, when artists were nurtured by record companies and it wasn't about singles.

Everything goes in cycles in the music industry.

Independent artists and labels have always been the trend setters in music and the music business.

I think right now, you've seen these artists pop up over the last decade who've flirted with branching together a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them have been huge, and sold millions of records. And I think over time it's become a little bit of what the industry can be.
