Kids today aren't listening to music audio-only. They're picking up a CD and looking at the lyric sheet and wondering why the pictures aren't moving around. Who wants to do that? It's like Bam Bam Flintstone hanging with the dinosaurs vs. Elroy Jetson who's flying around space. If I'm a kid, I wanna be kicking it with Elroy.
will.i.amYou're always moving and thinking about a whole bunch of things. But those traits work well for me in studios and in meetings about creative ideas. If you listen to the songs I write, they are the most ADHD songs ever. They have five hooks in one and it all happens in three minutes. I figured out a way of working with it.
will.i.amI can't sing โI Believe I Can Flyโ. I sing that horrible. But I can sing โI Gotta Feelingโ good. I wrote it for my capabilities. So I Gotta Feeling is just about let me make a song to inspire people to have a good time.
