I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that.

I hear melodies and hooks all day. I've always been that way, since I was a kid.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

It's not enough to say we need to love each other, you have to go behind that and say we need to change these policies, we need to fight, we need to protest, we need to agitate for change.
