giving acting earth
I always have to pretend I'm somebody else to give the best performance. It kind of feels like I'm acting; it's definitely an exaggerated version of me. I'm a very normal, down-to-earth person, but I wanted the videos to be striking, so I have to lay it on a little bit.
careers soul quality
I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.
strong giving too-much
I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.
real way taste
I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.
couple voice people
I tried a couple of pop writers - none of the big, big, big ones - but it didn't work for me. I do have a commercial voice; I'm not quirky. I'm very normal and that's probably why I like people like Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston. It's no-nonsense. They sing well, and that's it.
thinking appreciate want
I don't think too far ahead because I want to appreciate what's happening now.
artist singers should
I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.
way mainstream dance-music
Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for me.
