Nice and I am so the new album.

Is it a bit of a throwback to sort of your roots in and in Motown and soul music.

Yeah expect to oracle hits -- is his -- that's the building and the studio where -- form.

Berry Gordy.

Bought this house.

The big days from.

Then brought three houses together and then you -- -- through to the greatest writers and artists that he had slot and put them in different rooms and we can hear each other when they're writing so they would become competitive.

And if they were writing something good but in the next room Smokey Robinson.

Which do you want to -- something better doesn't go back in the room to grow it's that that's for another purpose for another bridge which -- -- he created or.

The perfect environment actually.

They'll never happen again -- -- so it's come from any label them are probably there ever -- -- -- -- How did it happen that you started singing the songs that you wrote I mean have a lot of people don't realize that you know a lot of other artists perform at your songs that you had written and then what was the transition from.

Writing to you actually performing.

Why -- you giving -- slums where those songs are about your voice.

And your three minute story.

Save them for yourself and I'll do another problem.

Is this is the wise this advice my whole -- And you're you're themselves 3434.

While -- -- -- -- -- on eighteen years rather.

In RBIs there's -- a couple of young upstart guys and I'm curious what you think of these young -- Hawthorne.

Not like great soul voice needs to grow up late listening to these sold records in Detroit -- his parents' attic and dusted them off and -- and listen to those and that sort of influence and you know and that.

Grumbles and Holland notes of course when you hear some of these young guys who are looking to lose that river well it may or -- -- hall -- hall notes yeah.

That's a -- the Phillies are now hardest thing.

Now like from like from from years do you see my number I don't I don't act it out again ameliorate this new album sort of -- -- -- a movement we're back to the classics like that.

Wrong I think there.

That there's always going to be some steps back to about you know not just the body of work but the style the style of writing even -- Offense good example and simplification of you know using live -- in the studio sort of layers of machines and -- and you're going back to just storytelling.

Soulful R&B kind of approach.

I think that hasn't left us just haven't had seen river and had.

-- record drought that has the numbers but has taken the industry shouldn't have -- let's go over here.

You haven't noticed -- at yeah DL but even like American Idol who is it and we've had him on the show number of times sort of a Michael McDonald and he's done.

Biography and her tour but there's anyone with an I can't look at times -- -- even that might even though he doesn't remember his.

It a former survive now you know we look at iTunes and people just selling singles now they're not really selling albums I miss those days were you guided by an -- and -- listen to the whole album.

And you look at -- going out to them -- Aren't done -- it.

It's different a lot harder it's harder -- -- give people young artists advice.

Because of a single downloads is just this is the way it misses the format of the -- and what happens is.

They often can have semi -- Selling through iTunes or singles themselves.

A digital downloads and not have a hit album and -- -- company weren't picked up a couple of option.

It's a testament to Taylor Hicks is who have strong guy who aren't -- -- -- has -- snap count and.

I just think if I was not sure I -- feel like an over turn his name backwards -- Taylor's there was plenty of today's slim yet but yeah.

Yeah that's what got -- commercial that you're in now I see it all over the -- bathroom yes -- call call.

-- CNET that little there's nothing wrong and it's in yet Campbell that the whole point is that you have if you're speaking calling a global -- calling optimum right because there's one number difference that.

And then they start cutting to the -- in my yard trampling.

One point I'm doing sculptor you know what -- something and and the -- Q3 in the middle of everything I'm doing.
