I would say our sound is soul pop.
It was Britney's movie. I liked that movie. It didn't get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.
I just had to find something else to fulfill me. Always being a singer and writing, it was a blessing. My brother started making music that was the kind of music I always saw myself singing.
I would go visit my mom on Sundays, and my brother was working on stuff. I'd go in there and sing a little melody, then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.
After we wrote The Wreckoning, our record label did listen.
It could be fun to sing with Prince or Michael Jackson. Justin Timberlake has an amazing new sound now.
Lauren Hill, I always have her solo CD nearby. I have Coldplay, Radiohead, just a mix.
We wanted to write a whole song about partying and then taking Yellow Cabs home. That's the weirdest topic we've ever thought of centering a song around.
It's actually harder to write a fun song.
If you are being weird or silly you can be excused because you are just playing a character.
The Wreckoning is a darker song. But the record is positive.
Through teaching myself how to be happy and get through things, I hope I can also do that for other people.
