CA: Sitting there saying, You know what? Weve come up with this great car. Its a Hugo. And people are like, oh wait, Ive heard there is this really cool car out of Germany called a Mercedes, no
no
no, you want to have the Hugo. But wait, I hear BMW makes a pretty good car, I hear Chevrolet, Escalade is really hot, whatever. No
no
.no, you want the Hugo.
The industry that we worked in that came up with all these huge artists Michael included, the U2s, the Bruce Springsteen's, the Dylans suddenly decided, you know what? Were gonna give you Lindsay Lohan. Were gonna give you Paris Hilton. Were gonna give you Kelly Osbourne. And the public sat there and said, This is the best you have to offer? Im not paying $17.99 for this. To hell with this, Ill steal one song off the internet.
And the labels were slow to come to form realizing it was changing and now theyre getting screwed because of it. Fans are doing it independently Chris. Theyre doing it differently. If you notice the live concert situation, the records that sell, if you look at the top 40 SoundScan youll probably see five country artists, five Disney artists, two or three older artists, live people listen to Bruce Springsteen, U2. Why do you think quote on quote country Keith Urban is so popular? Its not that people like country and Keith Urban is definitely not country, its a singer-songwriter. They want to hear songs. Talking about Michael, he made songs. The bands that last for a record, they dont have songs. They dont have staying power.
When youre 21 years old, I always ask people, name five artists under the age of 20 that were truly geniuses? And they sit there and ponder everything. I sit there and say ok, Ill give you a few, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson, a Mariah Carey that was truly legitimate at that time in her career and there is one or two others, but you see where Im going with this. Now you have every band out that is 20 year olds and they cant play.
CR: Being the producer, what you find is, see, I grew up in my household when I was a kid, the Isley Brothers would be in my living room rehearsing with my dad. My dad was a producer as well. I grew up and I couldnt wait to get in the business and kind of do it that way. And then all of a sudden I got in the business and I found well Cory, thats kinda like too much. People dont want to hear the live band thing and the live instrument thing. So all of a sudden I had to teach myself, force myself how to make music based on eight bar loops and write things repeat around, repetition.
CY: You felt like you were dumbing yourself down.
CR: I had to dumb myself because when I first started producing, I was producing strictly to make some money to take care of my family. So I had to follow suit. I was never ever
ever happy. I got very happy when I got the chance to work with the Mariah Carey or a Michael Jackson or someone like that because I knew I could be me. Theres been artists that will remain nameless that its like Ive had to just sit there and just do it basically because its for a check and not for love.
