Because music is a language unto itself, when I'm writing, I need silence. I need to hear the music and the rhythms of the words inside my thoughts. Marianne Wiggins hearinsidelanguage Change image and share on social

R&B is the one thing that has influenced every kind of music. Every artist that there is, from those that are sung the most to Adele - you know, she was so influenced by so many R&B artists and soul music - it's clear in her writing that that's where it comes from.

AC/DC, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper - I learned stories of all these guys. That's when I fell in love with Queen, which is one of my favorite bands of all time... I started paying attention to what made music good. I started paying attention to why I liked it. Rico Love aliceattentionband share on social

For me, one of the downfalls of electronic music is that it can feel a little soulless or robotic. Flume downfallelectronicfeel Change image and share on social
