It’s funny because of my manager Darius is an A&R at heart. YouKnowIGotSoul: Do you still think about industry terms like “radio hit” when creating music ? I had to start letting them know what I wanted to do so we could figure it out together. It was one of those things where I had to decide whether I wanted to continue to be an introvert to my team. I said “Why wouldn’t I do an interview with them? They’ve been supporting me since day one”. One of my first interviews in a long time was with you guys. Holiday: I’ve never been the interview guy. YouKnowIGotSoul: What are the conversations that you have with your team these days to make sure that your music reaches everyone? I know it’s a challenge in today’s industry. The whole point of that album was telling everyone I was taking responsibility for my actions. I was being a horrible guy, so I was like “Let me put that on record”. During “Guilty Conscience”, I was really going through something with dating and child support. You have to expand your horizons and let your fans see what you’re capable of.
A lot of people have never heard me in my lower register like on my new song “Ride”. Holiday: On this album, we played around with a lot of different sounds. Will we hear that on the new project “Time”? YouKnowIGotSoul: “Guilty Conscience” was one of those projects you could play from top to bottom and your vocal performance was top notch along with the story telling. People have been like “I can’t find the album anymore” and I was like “Seriously?”. After we get the “Time” album done, I’m going to do a personal leak of “Guilty Conscience” for people that want to hear it. The guys on the other side of the track have taken the album down off all streaming platforms. Holiday: Let me tell you how bad the business was for “Guilty Conscience”. YouKnowIGotSoul: We were just listening to your last album “Guilty Conscience” and that was such an underrated project. Lastly we talk about what we can expect from his upcoming album “Time” which is set to come out this Spring. We talk to him about that album and whether it’ll ever be available for download again. The singer has had quite a journey even since the release of his last album “Guilty Conscience” which was removed off streaming platforms recently due to some label politics. Holiday recently to talk about his new single “Ride”.
