"But the first I truly loved was Did I Hear You Say You Love Me, by Stevie Wonder, which I remember clearly when I was around two years old. The first single I bought I bought an iTunes single by Take 6 when I was 13. They are a six-part a cappella, gospel, jazz group, and they completely exploded my creative imagination. The song, He Never Sleeps, has the most unbelievable harmonic journey."
"There are so many I know every word, every note, every chord, every sound. But the first time I was proud to learn every lyric was to Photoshop Handsome by Everything Everything, one of my favourite groups. The lyrics are crazy, quick and random it's extraordinarily vivid. I learned it religiously, until I knew every word, and then I felt very clever indeed."
The first loved song was "Did I Hear You Say You Love Me" by Stevie Wonder, remembered from around age two. The first single bought was an iTunes track by Take 6 at thirteen; their six-part a cappella gospel-jazz style exploded creative imagination, especially the harmonic journey of "He Never Sleeps." A surreal karaoke moment involved singing "Livin' on a Prayer" in harmony with Novak Djokovic. Learning every lyric to "Photoshop Handsome" by Everything Everything provided pride. "Magalenha" by Sergio Mendes functions as an instant party banger and walk-in song. Silence is preferred during sex because music distracts, and "Like the Morning Dew" by Laura Mvula evokes deep emotion.
