I'm now so keenly aware that I have everything to prove and nothing to lose.
I think I do better when things are a little tougher.
Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted.
I don't think it is pressure but I am aware sometimes, especially on this new album, that people were going to really pay attention.
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.
I didn't want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs.
