Did you guys know that I have over 28 SINGLES that are platinum or multi platinum? I have 2 that are diamond. All this is the US alone. Iām also one of the only artists in history to *replace themselves* (!!!) at #1 on the radio.
But. Did you know my most critically acclaimed album was also my worst selling? My only Grammy nominated album is the one without a single hit?
Listen, album time is coming and I see a lot of people nostalgic for the before-times for varying (and opposing) reasons and I just want to say: They wonāt all be Manic. They wonāt all be If I Canāt Have Love I Want Power. They wonāt be Badlands because it wonāt be the first time again, and they wonāt be HFK because they all have to be different. They are all something new. They all become something unique.
If I wrote music, recorded it, and you listen to it? Then Iāve done what Iāve come here to do. The zeitgeist is fickle. And I just have to do the same thing every time. Write it, record it, release it. How itās received and how it performs isnāt up to me. Itās not even up to you. (Well itās a little bit up to you) but mostly itās up to something entirely cosmic that I co-exist with. I am places I never dreamed I would be.
I canāt wait to see what (or who) The Great Impersonator will become.
