What's the point of re-releasing an album? The original sounded good, why change something about it? (Ritchie Blackmore)
I definitely consider 'Poses' - the whole album in fact - to be kind of a miracle. Like the last breath of that moment when decadence is healthy, 'Poses' encapsulates that feeling. It's a kind of song and a kind of album that I'll never be able to repeat. View quote
Rufus Wainwright
Miles Davis was a part of my life from 1947 on. I was born in 1941 and I first heard him in 1947 on a 78 rpm. And then I followed his career, starting with his first solo album in 1951. He was an icon and inspiration and a mentor to me. View quote
Chick Corea
By the end of the writing process, which is about 80 songs per album, I look at the material and think, what's going to make a difference in someone's life. View quote
Jason Mraz
Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it. View quote
Noel Gallagher
I think every album you have to stretch further and further, give people another piece of you. But then I always try to deviate from the norm. View quote
Ludacris
If you're only making an album every 10 years, it better be good. View quote
Sade Adu
For every album, I look at where I'm at in my career and think of a title that kind of represents that. And for me, 'Night Train' was kind of a metaphor for where things have gone, from being on one bus with 12 other guys, pulling a trailer my first few years on the road, to now. We're out here with six or seven buses and eight or nine semis. View quote
Jason Aldean
I think from an artist standpoint, you have to put out music that you feel like represents you and things you feel like your crowd wants to hear. And if that drives them to go and download the album or the single, that's what we want. View quote
Jason Aldean
George Carlin's album, 'Class Clown,' came out when I was in high school. I memorized a lot of that album. I'd come home from school, put it on, and listen over and over. I started memorizing it. I don't even know why. I loved it so much I memorized it. View quote
Steven Wright
She reinvents herself from album to album. I reinvent myself week to week. I get quite bored with things and I don't want to let down my fans. (Lady Gaga)
I just made my album. I did my best. And I uploaded the video just to 'YouTube.' That was all. View quote
Psy
'The Black Parade' is an epic, theatrical, orchestral, big record that is also a concept album. View quote
Gerard Way
The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don't think this is heavy. View quote
Joni Mitchell
I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B. View quote
Willie Nelson
I kind of liked the dare of it. Of course we weren't to know that within a month of my first album actually being issued Elvis Presley would die, and it would actually be a talking point. ... Let me put it this way - people don't forget you with that name. View quote
Elvis Costello
Very similar experience happened last year when we released this album, North. It was on Deutsche Grammophon, it was very, very honest. It was the most honest record I've ever written. View quote
Elvis Costello
I had the honor of speaking with Asimov. The album ended up being something not directly related to Asimov, but related instead to the concept of the power of robotics. View quote
Alan Parsons
I'd met Dr Dre, he was thinking about his next album, we talked a little and he said, 'Let me give you some of these loops and see what you come up with'. View quote
Burt Bacharach
The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one. View quote
Vanessa Mae
When I hit my 20s, I took a chill pill and relaxed because throughout my teens I was churning out an album a year. It was a treadmill of work then recording, promoting and touring. (Vanessa Mae)
I could have taken the easy life and just done classical, but I felt very strongly about the album, my first pop album, the first time that I'd fused so many influences. I was very proud when it was in the charts in 25 countries at once. View quote
Vanessa Mae
Not yet, but I do wanna work with Leona Lewis. I love her, she's so sweet! I think she's working on her album as well so I'd love to do a nice powerful female duet with her. I think our voices would blend really well. There's a couple of other people I'd love to work with - like Fergie, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys. View quote
Jordin Sparks
I grew up listening to everything. I have such a love for music, but I don't want to make the same album over and over again. View quote
Carrie Underwood
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship. View quote
Jeff Buckley
