We've been working on a new album, which is going to come out next spring, which is very different, a change of style for us - it's going to be almost like rock music.

There are so many things to think about when you make an album. Like, who am I trying to impress? Am I going to get respect, critical acclaim? Or am I going to sell lots of records?

When creating an album, one of the first things you have to think about is what you want your production style to be.

There is always a mix of apprehension and excitement before you try songs out on a new audience.

I just always want a new producer. I'm going to have a new producer on the next one. Because I'm the same person, and I feel like, I know I'm going to bring to it a certain sensibility that's me, and I want to have something different coming out on each album.

When you're on your fifth album, you are going to be judged against all your previous work and expectations.

I want to be the kind of artist who keeps pushing on every album. I don't want to settle on a sound.

The fact I even get an opportunity to make one album is crazy. But if all goes to plan, I'll get to make five albums. That'd be nice.

The biggest difference between me and other artists out there is that they'll put anything out to sell a record or sell a ticket.

Obviously I try to make the best music that I can, but after about two years of making an album, you start to worry: 'Is it going to come out all right? Is it all going to sound churned out?'
