Whether at this point she has written copyrights like Adele has written, I can’t really say that. I think Jazmine Sullivan is amazing and I think she sounds great, whether I can say Jazmine Sullivan has written the Adele songs? I don’t know if I can say that. When Adele gets a hold of something it turns into something else, but the reality is, it’s about her music, her emotion and her pain.
#BABYFACE SONGS I GOT 10 FOR YOU SKIN#
Now, when you add all that on and the skin color you say ‘Oh, that’s unique, I didn’t know it was this girl.’ No different then when Elvis Presley started singing and we found out he was a white man, so it certainly made for an interesting story. Do you like Adele’s songs? Do you like what she sings about? Adele ultimately did well in such a large way because she effects everybody, and the way that she writes seems to be popular music, not because of her skin color but because she writes great music and it’s popular in that way. I think they’re two different kinds of artist. I think it’s unfair to compare Jazmine Sullivan to Adele. Last question, there are a lot of people who believe Adele, despite her talent, and many accolades, a part of her success has a lot to do with her skin color and then you have Jazmine Sullivan who’s equally as talented and can hit just as many notes but isn’t as successful. The trick is, are you going to find the right melody and hit the right keys to make it special? The good news is even with having writer’s block, today there are so many things to write about, to get inspired from by having conversation with people, especially when you’re dealing with things that are as universal as love. If you can’t come up with anything, you just stop writing for that moment. You just don’t do anything (laughs) You wait it out. Have you ever encountered writer’s block? You have 26 number one hits, you’ve had 125 top 10 R&B hits, you know what you’re doing. So I think it’s a bigger story than just a couple, and more than anything. That’s the things that seems to make anything better. We’ve been struggling for a long time, but the one thing that seems to cool us out a bit, or get us through tough times is love. The truth is, we’ve all gone through something in this country, everywhere. Is that coming from an honest place for you? Is it coming from an honest place? Is it believable coming from whoever’s voice is saying it? Do I believe you? Do I believe that you felt that? That you’ve gone through it? Can you make me believe it? Once you’ve connected in that way, then you’re that much closer to selling the song and it becoming a hit song because of that.įor your song “We’ve Got Love” It’s about a couple who has weathered many storms. Edmonds, what is needed to write a love song, and what’s needed to write a break up song because you’ve done both. Just because you sing along with it doesn’t mean you agree with the politics of it. So when you think about how records are done, and those records that become popular, sometimes it’s about the melody and it’s about having the right chorus and it hits you right. The melody is so nice that you don’t even really pay attention to that part of it, and you love the artist. Yes. This is a very famous song and a song that everybody sings along with, black and white and they don’t know that that’s what its about, and why is that? Because it feels so good. Hear him whip the women just around midnight Gold coast slave ship, bound for cotton fields.

But let me just read you the lyrics, which is…one second… Most people think it’s just about fine black girls. (laughs) It’s one of their most famous song that both black and white people love and they sing along with. I’ve never heard that song, please don’t judge me Mr.

But most people think they’re singing about a fine black girl. You know Rolling Stones song “Brown Sugar?” Lyrics can be important, but ultimately what pulls people in on a song is melody and the tracks, and the way music feels. Do you believe the lyrics are important, or the vocalist conveying those lyrics are more important?
