Let's get one thing straight: there's no such thing as the Bristol sound.
There's not only emotion in the way you sing but also in what you sing. That way I can compensate it.
My voice adapts itself to the music. I can do a lot more than you hear in Portishead.
Most of the lyrics are over a year old, and it doesn't feel like it's about me. Time created a distance.
I've just put my heart and soul in a song and need at least a week to recover.
I've had a wordless phase, and that's still not entirely over: what I sing is not always literally meant that way, and you can hear that in the way it is sung.
