People are getting ready for music that makes them feel happy again rather than being depressed at the way the world is going right now.

I hate that if you do one style of music or become really well known for that one song, that everything that comes after has to fit that mold.

Kanye West is my older brother, an inspiring guy and someone who keeps pushing my level up further and further.

I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.
absolutely appealing definitely following love period
I always have to get my U.K. fix, and 'Downton Abbey' is definitely that. I absolutely love period dramas, but this one is particularly appealing - following the ins and outs of aristocracy as well as the interaction between the rich and the poor.

The people who have the strongest opinion about everything have never left their city, their town, haven't left their 'hood, haven't left their area, their corner of the world. They don't read. They've never left their house.
country
Why should you stay in one place and one country if they're not offering you a job? It doesn't make sense!
