QuoteYou?re working on your sophomore album now. I saw you posted a preview clip of a new song. When is that album dropping?
There?s no date yet. At this point, I?m trying to, at least for me, perfect everything. I?m a perfectionist. I?m a Virgo, so everything has to be exactly the way I want it. It?s also sticking with your vision. Once you really find that, a lot of people have opinions and you just got to really stay focused.
I know when I was younger, I didn?t really know any better and I didn?t really know that I could say ?no? or that I had that power. Then I look back and I?m like, ?I wish I wouldn?t have done that? or ?Damn, that sucks,? when at the time I could have been like, ?No.? But I just didn?t know any better. So it?s really important to stick to your guns.
You?re working with some amazing people, like Diane Warren and Timbaland.
Tim, Diane Warren, Babyface?for being as big as they are, they could easily be such divas. They could be like, ?I want it just the way I want it.? I think part of them having longevity is the fact that they were never afraid to continue to learn from young people. They don?t treat me like I don?t know anything. They treat me like they value my opinions, what I bring to the table, what I think of things, and I think that?s why they?re still around. That?s why people still care about them.
