Tricia: What differences will there be on your new album? A different style, different types of songs?
V: I think the biggest difference besides obviously evolution in songwriting is the sound, sonically, the sound of the album. I thought the last album was too perfect-sounding. Very slick-sounding. To the point where the strings would sound like pads, or the piano would sound like a keyboard. So, I think that he beauty to an album is to hear the imperfections and the flaws. You know, you hear a violin squeak when you're recording it, which is what makes it feel real. It kinda makes you think, "Oh, this could be going on right now. This is really going on." So there's a sense of spontaneity and rawness.
they did that with patty griffin's album, you can hear like 4 people clapping and then she giggles in the song "tomorrow night" and a few mess ups after songs...
great interview, not sure if i understood the tour part...I read it like 15 times and i still couldn't read it like she said it lol...
and i realize that was a lot to type (lol i didn't finish...yet, eventually i will read the whole thing)...but you have he where i guess it should be the...sorry i picked that out...but GREAT interview none the less.
