In reply to Chile.....

Going into your new CD, did you feel pressure to make a great album rather than a few great singles?

This time around, I just wanted to make an album that people could listen to from beginning to end without skipping any because it's always a waste of time me going to the studio to record a song and then people skip it. When I buy an album I hate when I have to skip songs and I just have two songs to listen to. Brandy's Afrodisiac album really helped to inspire that as well, because that album I listen to all day, all night. When I was in the studio that was the album that I listened to all the time and I really admired that every song was a great song. You could listen to the entire album. And I was like, ''You know what? I have to make an album like this.''
