What inspired this new single?
“Looking For Love” may sound nostalgic but the story is a very present-day situation. Our generation is the first to experience how social media affects how we love. We have more options than ever before, so when we are met with the smallest issue, we’re quicker to leave to find someone more “compatible.” Looking for love is more difficult than ever, yet everybody wants to find it. The real question is once we find it, can we keep it?
How would you explain your style of music?
Truth doesn’t change with trend. I say that a lot when it comes to my music and brand. If it’s trendy, I think where I’m at now, I have a vast array of experiences and creatively, I am in a space where you’ll get a plethora of not only contemporary but traditional stuff as well. It’s a nice hybrid and I’ve always considered myself that.
Who would you say you’re making music for?
I can satisfy my mom’s generation as well as my younger brother’s. When I look at urban [adult contemporary music], I look at what they have and what don’t they have. I look at what will stand up to not only the charts, but my previous work. I don’t try to fit in because once I do that, I’ve already lost.
