You're not going to hear me do a rap song, you're not going to hear me do a jazz song. We have to be true to our roots, do what we do, and try to do it a little better each time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nobody wants to hear me rap.
I'm not a jazz singer.
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
I might sound like the weird artist hippy girl or whatever, but I don't have a complaint about what jazz is or what I'm doing with music. And that's more of a philosophy on my life. I could find things that maybe could shift or change, but ultimately, it's like that's not a good way to live our lives and think about what we do.
All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.
Jazz is the art of thinking out loud.
Jazz is letting everybody do his or her thing with the music.
I always used to say I'm definitely not a straight-ahead jazz singer, because then there's people who would hear what I do and say, 'Is it jazz? I don't know...' Whatever it is, it really comes down to creating music that makes people feel something.
It's something that - jazz is one of the few things that you can go and listen to, I don't care where you're from, what you are, what background you come from - there's something there for you.
You know I want to sing for people, I want to jazz people up I want to make new music that they've never heard.
