To me, the lyrics of the song define the kind of style it is.
The emotion of a song's lyrics has always been what grabs me deeply.
Drinking and partying never appealed to me in lyrics - they don't have a lot of meaning behind them.
Lyrics are so important, but they're really underrated.
My songs are all about celebrating poignant music. While some of them focus on fun and revelry, they are fortunately backed by powerful lyrics. Put together, the lyrics, tune and my voice strive to take the songs to the next level.
You'd think, of course, it's about the melody - that's a given. But really, I'm no good at singing a song unless it has a good lyric.
It's crazy to see people having tattooed my lyrics on their body, and quite frankly writing is just an outlet for my voice and getting it out there.
Sort of like, I have to make the Japanese lyrics really deep.
In my early years, I was much too ignorant and didn't realize how desperately important it all is, how really important the lyrics are. And for me as a singer, I am a lady who takes the lyrics first.
I only like songs with strong lyrics.
Lyrics are no more important than the music. There's no point in forcing them on people.
Lyrics are back, maybe. It seems like there was a bit of an attitude that lyrics are not important.
All musicians should write poetry or at least read it if they want to improve their game. Except for people who believe lyrics don't matter.
I feel like people mislead themselves when they tell themselves they're into me because of the lyrics. From my vantage point, people aren't into me because of the content, because of the lyrics. Because there's a million of rappers who have great content.
