Album Quotes

I loved plays, I loved films, but I had no desire to act until I had just put out my album ‘Like Water for Chocolate.’ Creatively, I felt like I’d hit a ceiling, and I needed something else to express myself, and I just decided to take acting classes Picture Quote #1

The Class Clown album was done totally sober. I’d realized what a hell I’d made for myself and I cleaned up completely for three months. You can hear the clarity of my thinking and of my speech on that album Picture Quote #1

Well, I think it’s kind of interesting how the Osmond name has been really seen on both sides of the pendulum. There’s obviously the bubblegum side, but for people who really know about music, it’s clear on the other side. As a matter of fact, I find it quite ironic that Metallica used to cover ‘Crazy Horses.’ It was a cutting-edge album Picture Quote #1

It’s kind of like a college degree... when you get one, no one can take it from you. When you get to say for the rest of your life that you’ve got a platinum album, that really means something Picture Quote #1

My African heritage is a part of reggae music roots, and the concept is that the album, ‘Revelation Part 1: The Root of Life’ is a tribute to roots reggae music. The fruit is what blossoms into different colors and shades, but the root has to stand predominant Picture Quote #1

Stillmatic’ is the rebirth of ‘Illmatic,’ my first debut album to come out in 1994. ‘Stillmatic’ is me coming full circle in my career and with everything, and just bringing pure hip-hop back Picture Quote #1

When I’m picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There’s nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn’t believable coming from them Picture Quote #1

I don’t want my album coming out with a ‘G’ rating. Nobody would buy it Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved playing in bands where there’s like three or four people and we’re all throwing out ideas and coming together to make an album Picture Quote #1

I’ve been aware of my gay fans since album one. There has been such great support from that community and it has gone both ways Picture Quote #1

I always had an eye toward the stage for the story of Hamilton’s life, but I began with the idea of a concept album, the way Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Evita’ and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ were albums before they were musicals Picture Quote #1

At the moment we’re trying to keep what we’ve learnt. Because we learnt a terrific amount with ‘Deep Purple In Rock,’ it took six months to make that album: we think it paid off, really. I can honestly say that it’s the first album we’ve been 100 percent satisfied with; it gave us a hell of a lot of confidence Picture Quote #1

I don’t want people to get confused. I’m not going to be putting out a gospel album Picture Quote #1

It’s not really a conscious decision to do a quiet album or a noisier album. It’s just something that happens, I guess Picture Quote #1

I feel that contemporary music, with very few exceptions, is missing the voice. You see an award show, you see a hundred extras on set dancing and special effects, and you don’t see that solo voice that was the trademark of Adele. It’s no accident that it was her album that ended up selling 27 million copies worldwide Picture Quote #1

Now I’m having to live with sales of around 50,000 per album - but I’m pretty content with my place in the general scheme of things, even if it’s meant I don’t drive a fancy car and can’t afford grand vacations Picture Quote #1

When I started recording, I thought I’d be able to do all kinds of records: jazz, country, dance - and I’ve always wanted to do a gospel album Picture Quote #1

I try to make an album that reflects what I love about country music. It’s not just all about happy parties all the time. There are some sad songs Picture Quote #1

When I tour with the new album, I still do the classics, and I love the atmosphere it creates with the whole audience singing along Picture Quote #1

Putting out my album on my own label has been a great experience for me. It’s been very inspiring. It’s like a new start for me and having all this creative freedom is so liberating and exciting Picture Quote #1

When I first started writing the album, Cry Baby was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time Picture Quote #1

Cry Baby is a character so I think that the next album is going to be about a specific thing in her life or another place in her world. It’s going to be a bit deeper into a bigger picture Picture Quote #1

I’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to not work on my album. I go out to the cinema, catch up with friends, eat, watch Curb Your Enthusiasm - that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

The funny thing is, the music that I’m writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we’ve ever done. The music that I’m thinking about putting on our next album Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know that Left Eye’s dad passed away right when she wanted to tell him that she just signed to LaFace Records. After I signed to Jive Records and just before I put out my first album, my mother passed away. It was very odd how much we had in common Picture Quote #1

What started it all was the Kanye album, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.’ We started listening to that and just fell in love with it, fell in love with his production style Picture Quote #1

I’m still just a kid learning about minimalism, and he’s a master of it. It’s just really such a blessing, to be able to work with him. I want to say that after working with Rick, it humbled me to realize why I hadn’t - even though I produced Watch the Throne; even though I produced Dark Fantasy - why I hadn’t won Album of the Year yet Picture Quote #1

[David] Bowie’s last album Blackstar featured him backed by a jazz quartet Picture Quote #1

From day one when you’re singing, you’re dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into Picture Quote #1
