Do you feel like you have an album that is underrated?
Underrated? I don't know if I can say underrated. With The Velvet Rope, a lot of people were expecting something that was more up. Fun and happy. I remember driving on the freeway and this car honked.
It was a girl, and I looked over and she pulled up her CD and it was The Velvet Rope. I just smiled and said, "Thank you." I appreciated her acknowledging the fact that she had it—and feeling that she understood it, she got it and it spoke to her.
It's such a freeing album to listen to.I think so too, but people didn't get that as I was hoping they would, because they just wanted a certain part of me—or I should say, the other me.
