“For me there's insecurity when you're releasing an album because you spend all of this time working on that one thing and then once it's done, it's done. After you put it out there to the public you never know which songs are going to work or even if the album is going to work as a whole so there is a little bit of nervousness around predicting what the numbers will be and if it's going to be well-received.” IfsKnowsWellsLittlesDoneWholeSongBitsNumbersOne ThingLittle BitAlbumsInsecurityGoing To WorkPredictingNervousness Author:John Legend
