It's easier for fans to consume one or two songs at a time. Not everybody buys records, so some songs can get overlooked.
Records used to be documents, but now record companies want product.
When you get to a point where you're not beholden to a record company, then it's up to you to say, 'OK, enough knob-turning. We're done.'
We were ready to launch Barry White, but the record company wouldn't put it out. Said it wouldn't sell.
The record company felt wisely that we should get something out before I left 'Hamilton' or around awards time, and that deadline was not easy.
'Love Tattoo' I recorded without a record company. I'd gotten turned down by the record companies - they said they didn't get me, which is fine, I suppose.
Everything about my life was culturally rich, and all the people I met sort of reinforced the wackiness that was normally inside of me. No one said, 'You can't do that,' until I got to real record companies, that is.
People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me.
