Feist

There's nothing better than not knowing what's going to happen until you put the pieces together.

And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.

Musically, I didn't relate to Berlin. There seemed to be a lot of machine music made there - I don't think I saw a stringed instrument in two years.

A lot of times songs are very much of a moment, that you just encapsulate. They come to you, you write them, you feel good that day, or bad that day.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.

I've done gospel songs on every album.
