I feel like I'm quite versatile. I want to do lots of different styles.
2NE1 was special because we each had different characters and styles, for individual tastes.
I want to do more R&B, more reggae, everything.
I always like to do something different in every song.
I think it is the weak and the young and the minorities that you need to look after to get a healthy creative environment - to get a lot of choices, a lot of different styles of music, a lot experimental stuff that everyone else feeds off.
When you are an artist you can turn your hand to anything, in any style. Once you have the tools then all the artforms are the same in the end.
First of all, I'm a performer, so people really want to see my performance in different styles and genres. We tried to do hip-hop and EDM, and very energetic performances through 'Camo,' 'Nega Dola,' and 'One Shot, Two Shot.'
I always had an appreciation for diverse musical styles.
I've put out records over the years, whether it's with Blackfield or No-Man or Bass Communion or Porcupine Tree, that are pop records, ambient records, metal records, singer-songwriter records.
I have musical ADD or something, and I get bored doing the same thing over and over. I love different sounds, different influences.
I think one thing you could probably say for all my albums is that they're all pretty eclectic pop. There's always a little bit of urban influence, some dance, a little bit of country, singer-songwriter, pop-rock. I like everything! On every album you can find that.
It's always good when you can bring two artists together who are totally different.
There are as many ways to write songs as there are songs.
There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.
If I were to put on Barbra Streisand and Duke Ellington, one might say the combination isn't good.
What I love about the U.K. is that there are no style boundaries, you can wear anything and you won't be judged, which is a fantastic attitude to have towards fashion.
There's so many different kinds of songs that could be pop songs. I don't think pop songs should sound the same.
I feel like my music has so many different things going on. I've always worked with many different producers. And a lot of times, each of them has a different thing that I really love about what they do.
