I have songs that they play now, but I just really envisioned her walking down the aisle and what she would want to say. I’m just a sucker for love and that’s just such an important day. I still get goosebumps and I’m like, “Yeah, that’s me!” I still feel good about it. I feel super fortunate, and I very rarely go to weddings and they don’t play something of mine. Did your wedding song play a part into how you wanted to pen this song?
We will forever continue to be shaped by our loves and our losses and that’s life - the beauty of life.Īnother record that caught me in my feels, which was why my facial reactions were looking so crazy, was the “I Do” record. Like a diamond, I’ve been shaped a thousand times again.” That is absolutely true. The lyric is: “I have loved and I have lost. When I find people that I love, I just love deeper. Bad shit happens to good people sometimes, and it really puts your life in check. Now that I’m older, I realize shit happens. When you’re young and you have a bad day, you think everything should revolve around you. You just love them so much more and deeper, for me now, because I have such an appreciation for their life as well and what they’re going through. When you have good people around you, you cherish them. The song “Deeper,” how we started the song was, “What would you say is different in the way you love now, and how you loved when you were younger?” I said, “I love deeper now.” Life just - life comes at you fast. If you had to give me your most personal lyric or hook off your new album Passion Like Fire, which one would it be? I don’t know, I haven’t really purchased an album in a while. Anita Baker, Whitney Houston’s first album, Rapture, Boyz II Men. When I listen to albums, I kind of gravitate towards things that I grew up listening too. What’s the last album that gave you goosebumps? Albums are so important, especially if you want to get to know the artist. An album should have ebbs and flows to it. There are definitely songs that don’t, and you feel that and that’s a thing, too. When you hear a song, you should see something and it should take you somewhere. People just listen to singles, but albums are so important. The business side of the music business is what can get tricky and throw people off… even in the way music is consumed now. It is a fickle business and you have to roll with it. I don’t know what I could attribute it to. Vocally, writing-wise, production-wise, staying true to yourself but also growing a little. I think it’s so important to put out quality music. People had been with me this long and still support what I do and the new material as well. This is just a fickle business that we’re in. I’ve seen a lot of artists come and go, and they haven’t gone because they weren’t talented. I feel super-blessed to be able to be here working on an album, prepping to promote the album with songs that I love, being excited to add material to the show.
