When I started recording, I thought I’d be able to do all kinds of records: jazz, country, dance – and I’ve always wanted to do a gospel album. Tom Jones
I think we all attract troublemakers; I don’t think it’s particularly about anyone. I had it actually as an album title, and I thought it would be really cool to write a song about a girl that’s a bit of troublemaker. Olly Murs
The first Van Halen album makes Johnny Rotten out to be what he really was and still is: a hairdresser. Henry Rollins
I’ve got a song on every album, two songs as a matter of fact on every album without Auto-Tune, and that’s the song that nobody talks about. It’s weird. T-Pain
I don’t really have a treasured possession, but I do love my family’s proper old photo album. We all have hundreds of photos on our phones now, but you can’t beat the old albums stuffed with black-and-white wedding photographs and 1970s Polaroids. Nicola Walker
In New York, I’m around a lot of the reasons I started playing music in the first place. I live right behind Matt Umanov Guitars. I live on the street that Suze Rotolo and Bob Dylan were walking down on the album cover. I recognize the history. Steve Earle
And the White Album is important to me for different reasons. One – I had left the band on the White Album. Ringo Starr
I use the music to vent, and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety, stress and depression, so that’s how the album came out so dark. Vanilla Ice
Success has a lot to do with luck, but it also involves a lot of real hard work. The thing about success is you really can’t gauge things by album sales. Jerry Cantrell
I got an album concept called ‘Exit Strategy,’ that might be one of my last ones. It’s a term they use in business when you build companies. You create an exit strategy as you make a company. You don’t wait till you’re five years in it; you create a exit strategy as you make the company. Nipsey Hussle
There’s a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it. Taylor Swift
My first album didn’t come out until I was 26. Jay-Z
I hear an album so many times during the course of making it that when I’ve just finished it, I don’t want to hear it again. After you’ve taken a little bit of time away from it, you can come back to it, which can be scary. I’m happy with ‘Sonik Kicks,’ man. Paul Weller
The average rap life is two or three albums. You’re lucky to get to your second album in rap! Jay-Z
We toyed with the idea of making it a double album, but I think that would only have confused everybody even more, so we decided to stick with the songs we picked. Thom Yorke
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that’s censorship. Jeff Buckley
I can’t believe Tina Turner actually was on the same stage. I can’t believe I set foot on the same stage, and it’s going to be an album, people are going to buy it, and it’s going to be a video. Brandy Norwood
In fine arts, when you make a painting, it’s just a painting. But if you make a painting in the entertainment industry, it can be an album cover or a t-shirt or a logo. Andrew W.K.
My main objective with every album is to capture a moment in time, which usually makes the whole process very relaxing. I only discover in retrospect when looking back at the songs how my life is going! Alanis Morissette
Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end. Eminem
I’ve got a song on One Direction’s album called ‘Tell Me A Lie’. It’s a really cute song – I love it. I loved that they liked it. They sound really great on it. I already have it – I’m so VIP with my copy on my computer! It does sound really good. Kelly Clarkson
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It’s a theatrica! event. Freddie Mercury
There are so many things to think about when you make an album. Like, who am I trying to impress? Am I going to get respect, critical acclaim? Or am I going to sell lots of records? Ellie Goulding
You know, your first album is about really amazing things. Your first album is always about coming of age, first love, first loss, usually you suffer a first loss of someone that you love to death, even, you know, really big life lessons, things you learn from your parents’ divorce or from the travels that you took. Brandi Carlile
I signed contracts I didn’t think were a good idea but people around me said it was the way forward. It saddens me that I’ll never own my first album ever, which sucks. Julian Cope
I’m not worried. I’m just so grateful to be in the position that I’m in. I’m just going with the flow right now, and I think my album will come together quite nicely because I think everybody is on the same page. Carrie Underwood
I wanted something that had the feel of a complete band and a variety of instrument. Apart from doing the album for musical satisfaction, I felt it was an important statement for other women – showing you don’t have to rely on other people to do things for you. Danielle Dax
Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn’t mean to but I just did. Adele
When I was young, I was a sucker for smooth men. Bryan Ferry hired me, at 19, to be painted blue and dress up as a mermaid for the cover of his album ‘Siren.’ It was love at first sight. Jerry Hall
When you write an album and you’re writing about relationships, the stuff that I’ve been through in my relationships, 99 percent of it is really good, but it’s that one percent that always inspires you to write a song. Kris Allen
There’s no tour plans, no reunion, no new album… nothing. Dee Snider
You can’t really write a full album about your missus. She’ll start getting the wrong idea and start thinking I like her. Noel Gallagher
My favorite album would have to be something from The Beatles. Liam Gallagher
I think most bands probably peak on their first album. We peaked on our third album. On the first album, I feel like I wish the production was a little better. I’ll always hear a song I don’t like. I look for what I could have done to make it better. It’s always difficult for me to listen. Johnny Ramone
When you hear ‘Truth of Touch,’ I believe you recognize that it is me; however it’s not the typical Yanni album. Yanni
Prince, you never knew what to expect from him from one album to the next. Miles Davis was like that. You know, once you get used to one style, boom, he switched it and, you know, switched gears on you. So those artists are very exciting to me, very exciting to follow their path, you know, and their journey. D’Angelo
I put out tapes, but I always kept saying, ‘Why am I putting all this energy into these tapes?’ I was like, ‘I’d rather make just an album because I have a vision; I know how I want to do my records.’ I always felt like an artist as well. DJ Khaled
We fought during ‘The Wall,’ which was an album Waters wrote, based on his family story, we clashed long before that, during the period of the Dark Side and ‘Wish You Were Here.’ Actually, we never got along. Rick Wright
When ‘Pale Fire’ came out, that album was a big friend of mine. I’ve just always purely been a fan of El Perro del Mar. Fred Armisen
‘Trilogy’ was more of a claustrophobic body of work. Before it was released, I hadn’t left my city for 21 years, and I had never been on a plane, not once. I spent my entire life on one setting; that’s probably why pieces of the album feel like one long track, because that’s what my life felt like. It felt like one long song. The Weeknd
I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me. Neneh Cherry
I don’t see why women have to get naked to sell an album. It’s crazy. Imelda May
It wouldn’t be a Carrie Underwood album without a revenge song on it. People really like when I do that. I don’t mean to. I don’t hate men that much. But it turns out so well! Carrie Underwood
Fans don’t know what they want. Fans are like, ‘Oh, I want the stuff that you did in the last album because I really liked it, and if you don’t do that, I’m not going to be your fan no more.’ Or they’ll be like, ‘I didn’t like that project. He doesn’t sound like him on it,’ or ‘You’re wack. You’re mainstream now.’ Denzel Curry
I canceled the Russian shows because, from the days of the first Dire Straits album, I’ve supported Amnesty International. It’s not a good thing to read about people being jailed for no reason, so I raised my hand and made a small objection. It was good to do – but where do you stop? Mark Knopfler
I always say the new album is the best one yet. I always feel that – I really do, because it’s the latest and it’s the newest and it’s a little bit better. Debbie Harry
Missing You’ almost didn’t get on the No Brakes’ album, because the record company said, ‘The album’s finished. We don’t need any more songs.’ John Waite
A family’s photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it. Susan Sontag
The Beatles, they brought a whole new dimension to pop music. Of course, the psychedelic period is much more interesting to me, starting with ‘Rubber Soul’ and on to the ‘White Album.’ Great, great records. I was such a Beatles fan. I was very sad when they broke up. John McLaughlin
Having Brian Wilson sing on my album was an unforgettable experience. Belinda Carlisle
I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B. Willie Nelson
Records have never really been my strong suit. I’ve always been a much better live act. I didn’t understand the language of the studio. You sing differently in a studio. The language, the craft – it’s just a whole different deal. I avoided the problem on my first record by doing a live album. Jewel
Michael Giles the first drummer of King Crimson, never agreed to the name King Crimson. But then, if you’d knew Michael, you would know he didn’t agree to the album cover either. So maybe Michael didn’t agree to the point of definition with many things. Robert Fripp
Proust, my big inspiration for ‘Goon Squad,’ uses music a lot in his novel, both in terms of plot and structure. I liked the idea of doing the same thing, which is one reason I structured ‘Goon Squad’ as a record album, with an A side and a B side, that’s built around the contrasting sounds of the individual numbers in it. Jennifer Egan
Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it’s like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference? Chris Martin
I kinda like the idea of having an album that’s all me. J. Cole
I cut off my dreadlocks, but I couldn’t face throwing them away. They were so hard to grow, man. There’s a lot of work goes into those things. Some people keep a diary or a photo album to remind them of their past lives – well, I’ve got hair. Who knows? One day, maybe my grandchildren might want to see it. Winston Marshall
I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever. Kanye West
I don’t think drums had ever sounded so big until Led Zeppelin’s first album. Jimmy Page
Van Halen was a huge influence on me, and ‘Eruption’ was the song that really leaped off that first Van Halen album. Dimebag Darrell
Nothing is more frustrating to me than putting a song on an album and regret putting it on there. I’m excited that there are no songs on ‘Tailgates & Tanlines’ that I’m iffy about. Luke Bryan
I first thought maybe I’d do a banjo presentation record, where I’d play a couple of songs and get a bunch of other players to do the rest. Then I realized I had enough of my own songs to do an album of them. Steve Martin
All of these reissues were not authorized by me, I do not endorse them, the live album was put out without my permission, and I’ve not seen a dime at this point, either. Jello Biafra
My uncle introduced me to R&B, like Dru Hill, 112 and all those dudes. Eventually, he put me on Omarion’s first album, and that was the first album that made me want to start singing. Bryson Tiller
I know I am old-fashioned, but I don’t want to bring out a fashion line, I don’t want to bring out an album. I just want to do the work as best as I can, and if that effects change for somebody, then that is great. I don’t want to change the world. Cillian Murphy
I’m 18 in this album. I’m not losing fans, and I’m not disrepecting women, but you reach the maturity of taking it to the next level with a girl. It was only necessary for me to have at least one song like that. Chris Brown
A dream collage is pictures of your goals. It is like your future photo album. Bo Bennett
I think what AC/DC does best is play live. That’s when everything comes together. Even after you make a studio album, when you go out and play live, that’s when you learn what being in a band is all about. Angus Young
The single ‘Pray 4 Love’ was a summary for the album, but there are a lot of different messages about the way to deal with relationships from dealing with your homeboys to dealing with your pain. This is life that we all go through. Rod Wave
George Carlin’s album, ‘Class Clown,’ came out when I was in high school. I memorized a lot of that album. I’d come home from school, put it on, and listen over and over. I started memorizing it. I don’t even know why. I loved it so much I memorized it. Steven Wright
A good producer brings out the best in the artist he’s working with. You shouldn’t be able to listen to something and say, ‘So-and-so produced this album.’ Eddie Van Halen
But I’m always trying to plan ahead too and in doing so, and in working on this album, I’ve met a lot people that I hope to be involved with, on their records and in their situations. Bootsy Collins
When I was working at the Sprint store, I got laid off. I was bummed out, but I stayed positive. I used the money I had earned while working there to make my first album. Without that job, maybe ‘Corazon Sin Cara’ would never had been made. It’s a very inspirational story. Prince Royce
If something gets too easy… I want to do something else. But every album is going to be me, no matter what. Skrillex
We’re probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album. Rick Allen
The Dark Side of the Moon is a fine album with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement. There is a certain grandeur. Alan Parsons
I am immensely overwhelmed and thankful to Filmfare and the Times Of India Group for bestowing on my father and my guru the honor he truly deserves. It is prodigious to see the Best Music Album Award being named in memory of the man who pioneered and changed the face of music industry in India. Bhushan Kumar
I’ve met so many new fans and amazing people while traveling to new cities and locations throughout 2017 in support of my album ‘American Teen.’ Khalid
‘The White Album’ is a record I can go back to time and time again, and always find something different that I never noticed or appreciated before. Mark Hoppus
There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring. Norah Jones
‘Stillmatic’ is the rebirth of ‘Illmatic,’ my first debut album to come out in 1994. ‘Stillmatic’ is me coming full circle in my career and with everything, and just bringing pure hip-hop back. Nas
But I’ve got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album’s worth of work as his legacy. That’s all that life allowed him. David Bowie
I lost my dad two years ago to cancer, and before he died, I asked him to write ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ on a piece of paper for me. I told him it was for an album. He practiced and practiced and then sent it to me, and I had it tattooed onto my wrist and surprised him with it. He cried when he saw it, happy tears. This way I always carry him with me. Priyanka Chopra
From the beginning, with our first album, we wanted to make the music that maybe was lacking around us – the music that we wanted to hear. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo
I was told so many times when I was a kid, ‘I can’t be friends with you, you’re too intense, you’re too sad all the time.’ I really thought that when I made the first album that everyone would understand me, all the people who weren’t my friends would become my friends. Fiona Apple
The mystical poetry of William Blake’s artwork also forms the basis for the album cover. Bruce Dickinson
There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play. John Bonham
I do understand that not everyone is going to sit and listen to an Enya album. When someone says it’s not their cup of tea, it’s not their kind of album, that’s fine by me. Enya
At 57, to have a No. 1 album, I wasn’t expecting it. Jimmy Buffett
I now possess the tools as a producer and a songwriter to really just go out and make smashes all day long. I could make an album full of smash records that got pop appeal. But my heart is in hip-hop. My heart is in telling stories. And it’s like therapy for me. J. Cole
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit. Eminem
For the ‘Load’ album, I was experimenting so much with tone that I had to keep journals on what equipment I was using. For ‘Hero of the Day,’ I know I used a 1958 Les Paul Standard with a Matchless Chieftain, some Boogie amps and a Vox amp – again, they’re all blended. Kirk Hammett
To go indie is a thing. But to put an album in the stores, you need a distribution label. Drake
In fact, I wouldn’t really call this a Gospel album, I call it more an inspirational album. Smokey Robinson
I always hate starting tours, especially when it coincides with an album coming out. Tobias Forge
Bob Dylan’s first couple of records in the 60’s weren’t considered cover records, but he only wrote one or two original songs on each album. John Mellencamp
BTS as a group sort of took off with the success of our 2015 album that had our hit single ‘I Need U.’ RM
When I’m done with my last album, I want to make a movie with Tim Burton telling the story of all of the albums connected. That’s my biggest dream. Melanie Martinez
When I listen to our first album now, I can hear the purity of the oneness of leaving all earthly things aside to come together and create something. It’s quite marvelous. Bill Ward
It’s actually one of my dreams to have my own album. My music genre is dark pop. Catriona Gray
