“Escape” Q&A
-
How is "Escape" different than his previous album releases?
In comparison to my other albums, it’s a much more aggressive album, musically and lyrically. When I created this album I knew that when I went on stage with it I was going to have a fun time. It’s more me because it’s more fun. I lived with it for such a long time. I was in the studio for a whole year, (which is) the first time I took so long to do an album. But, I feel it just became so much a part of me. I just love it. That’s kind of why I called it “Escape”… When I listen to the album it’s the kind of album that you want to be, for example, in a car, on a road trip, and you put on the CD and you can listen to it from song number one to song number 10.
