Darlene Love Quotes

On Eye of the Zombie, I had so-called studio musicians.

I watched Dylan record 'Blonde On Blonde' in my first week at work at CBS. It was just incredible.

When I was still in the Yardbirds, our producer, Mickie Most, would always try to get us to record all these horrible songs. During one session, we recorded 'Ten Little Indians,' an extremely silly song that featured a truly awful brass arrangement.

'She's Dynamite' was a 100 years ago, and I recorded that song because the company thought that it was a great song and it was hot. That was the beginning of rock n' roll, and I guess they thought it would be a BB King version of rock n' roll.

I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.

I've always wanted to work with Barbra Streisand because she's worked with some of the best background singers in the world who are friends of mine, worked with them in concert or on movie soundtracks, and I always say 'Now, where was I? Where was I when she was hiring people to work with her?'

The Blossoms were actually the first black background singers that did recording sessions in California, but we had to start giving work away. We just couldn't do it all.

Anybody who thinks pop music's easy should try to make a pop single and find out that it isn't.

There's a guy at the record company who's 30, and he says, I would not listen to these songs except in this context. Somehow the recording process, the arrangements, make it more accessible.

The day after 'X-Factor' ended, I was in the studio with Will.I.Am.

I would like to work with Ed Sheeran at some point. I really admire his songwriting, and I just think he has a great voice and great artistry. Who else? On the producer side of things, definitely Diplo: that'd be awesome.

When you're doing a Motley Crue tribute record, you can ask anyone to do it, and they're not going to say no.

I think that the stuff I write for pop music is terribly, terribly cheesy.

I always made the joke that I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Warner Brothers first put 'Tusk' on and listened to it in their boardroom as a follow-up to 'Rumours.'

I think that every song has to be like it could be the biggest hit of my album.

Ah, the Wrecking Crew! They played on everything that came out of L.A. Oh, that was a good band. You really enjoyed going to work. You played for everyone; it didn't matter what it was.

I'm very lucky; I have a lot of knowledge. My favorite band is The Beatles, so a lot of inspiration for my music comes from them, too.

I have no idea about the state of rap. I don't pay attention. I just listen to old music that I have.

I've always wanted to write pop music. I never wanted to be cool or make a hipster record.

From the end of 2015 to the start of 2016, I was always at the studio with Mustard, just figuring out a sound.

I used to play on Phil Spector's records, and he liked to use three pianists.

We were definitely new to the whole music thing. The first album was a real collaborative effort between us, the writers, and the A&R people at Columbia Records. We really worked to find out what our sound was.

As a kid, my pops did music, too. He was in a group called Lakeside back in the day.

'Pump' was my first song.

I am a pop and R&B singer. I'm not necessarily an Indian singer or musician. I sing in English, and the music I do blends hip hop, pop, R&B, and soul.
