My first album was completed in three months.
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
When I started making music I wanted it to have a narrative and be conceptual, but as time went on I thought it was probably more practical for a first album just to have good music.
When my first album came out, it wasn't Bollywood.
The first record we made in three days. We literally stayed up for three days making the first album. It was crazy, crazy, crazy for us to do that. We couldn't believe anyone would give us a record deal. I look back on that record fondly but with just the slightest bit of a cringe.
For me, personally, Mind, Body and Soul is my real debut.
The first Vampire Weekend record was the first full-length album that I produced.
But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.
The first album I ever bought with my own money was 'Ten.' Every single song reminds me of my childhood.
The first album is a special one for most bands or most artists in general. The first record is your whole life, and then after that you have a couple of months to write stuff and get it for the next record.
From day one when you're singing, you're dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into.
My first album didn't come out until I was 26.
My first album was called 'Badlands,' and it's something that I think I'm most proud of having done in my life.
I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.
My first album was The Doobie Brothers... 'Captain and Me.' You always remember your first!
The word 'album' makes you nervous, especially 'debut album.'
Especially for my first album, I struggled with even the thought of being a solo artist.
Most people, from their second album on, find it much harder to be as spontaneously creative as they were with their first couple of records, and some people only have one thing that they do.
Everything that came later... the roots are all there in the first album.
Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up.
The first album I bought was the Spice Girls, ha ha.
I was a studio engineer out in L.A. for about six or seven years, and I played sideman for different people, and played in bar bands. I was an old man of 32 when I made my first album.
Before my first album 'Born To Do It,' I used to DJ.
'Wages Of Sin' was the first metal album I ever bought, and it was love at first listen.
I think I see a lot of artists struggling to make their first album perfect, and I've been there.
