In the beginning, it was - a lot of it had to do with the fact that I was in LA. People just come to LA, you get in the studio... Since then, I’ve been touring about 200-plus shows a year, I take that as a way to experience different genres and meet different artists.
Just about every song on this album is a collaboration, and with artists from a huge variety of genres - Nile Rodgers, the Brazilian singer Ludmilla. One of the main singles is this pop country song with Tyler Hubbard.
