So I like that sound, but I am not interested in being retro.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.
I don't want to be a reality retro star.
You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.
It's not about retro or modern, it's about this note or that note, which sounds better?
What's good is that my music is different from everyone else's. It's got the soul element, like Duffy, but it's not very retro. It's a contemporary, pop, fresh sound. That's what makes it different.
It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.
I don't think we will use the 80s glossy sound again.
I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn't really what I would want to go for.
I don't live in the past or focus on making new songs sound like my old stuff; it would be stupid, and I don't think anyone would like it.
In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to make something modern with classic undertones, but I wanted to make something that was exactly like that old sound.
