I will win, whether you follow or not.
I've been contemplating my musical future.
I've realized one of my frustrations: Although I do have fans--people who have loved my music since its inception--they do not always grow with the music. It's like a relationship; people want to stay in love so they don't choose the acknowledge the changes in personality that often happen over time. There is growth, but you cling to the early memories. Or a parent gazing longingly at her grown child's finger-painting from kindergarten.
Many people who claim to like my music have not accepted that my sound is ever-changing. I am past the point of writing simple pop tunes. I have found my voice, and I have found what drives me to write music. And it's not always to be beautiful. It's to be interesting. Challenging. Stirring. Wrenching. Different.
With so many listeners stuck in the past, I just have to accept that they may stay there forever, and that I have to move on to fresh ears.
I have new recordings. Comment if you want me to email them to you.
I am going to conquer the world. Starting with you.
