Just as a random thing, because I can't choose a favorite song ever, I'll go for Minnie Riperton's "Expecting".

I think making an album is a difficult thing.

I have no guilt about any of my pleasures.

You don't get bored making an album.

Just as a random thing, because I can't choose a favorite song ever, I'll go for Minnie Riperton's "Expecting".

Saying that you've got acoustic instruments and that's traditional and so people will think it's more intimate, that will always be the case. It's a more intimate sound, so it's going to sound more direct whatever you're singing about.

You've got to go with what feels instinctive and true to your heart, and filter out all of the other stuff.
