I feel like Sony appreciates good music from a talented artist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you are a real artist who is serious about your craft, you love good music. Period.
Sony is the coolest studio. They are really amazing. I think part of it comes from they're not an American corporation. They don't work by quite the same rules. And their studio heads have a lot of autonomy.
I chose Sony Classics, not just because of their practical experience, not just because of their wisdom in marketing, but mainly because of their integrity.
When you have a reputation for making not only good songs but great albums, that in itself creates added artistic pressure. But, at the end of the day, I guess that pressure is something I welcome.
I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.
Good music makes you feel something.
I always knew I wanted to create original material, and after having meetings with all sorts of record labels, I decided that Sony was the right place to do it. They knew what I wanted to make and gave me the freedom to express myself.
People don't really listen to albums anymore. They just find good songs.
Good music is good music, but it has to be good.
There has never been any proper commitment to marketing these artists and their music. We are not Sony.
