Love Your Curves And All

Sometimes I Just Think People Are Haters. And If They're Haters, You Can Listen To What They Have To Say But You Have To Take It With A Grain Of Salt.

I Have A Structured Songwriting Process. I Start With The Music And Try To Come Up With Musical Ideas, Then The Melody, Then The Hook, And The Lyrics Come Last. Some People Start With The Lyrics First Because They Know What They Want To Talk About And They Just Write A Whole Bunch Of Lyrical Ideas, But For Me The Music Tells Me What To Talk About.

I Think It's A Bit Of A Myth That Black Americans Need One Leader. We're Not A Monolith. And Now That Legal Segregation And Discrimination Has Been Pretty Much Abolished There Isn't The Sort Of Universal Mandate That A Black Leader Would Have. Black Folks Live In A Wide Variety Of Social Situations Right Now.

Musicians Are In-season All The Time.

I Do Believe That Part Of Us Ending Racism Is Us Seeing Each Other's Humanity And Learning To Love Each Other, Even If We Look Different Or Worship Differently Or Live Differently.
