I do think that really great music will divide people, and people will love and hate it at the same time.
I think in music there is just something inherently spiritual in singing together and harmonizing, and gospel is the truest form of that.
It's just like an idea, like a chorus, and then we just jam on it - it happens in loads of different ways. The best songs I find always come from the subconscious, like when you don't think. Not to be pretentious about it, but usually songs just blurt out rather than thinking about it. I never write lyrics and then do a song, I find that really hard - that's like a real skill.
If you're religious or not, the world and society lacks as much of community spirit as it had.
When you write songs, you try to tap into something that isn't straightforward in your head. Whatever you're feeling most strongly about usually comes out in your writing.
I have my own goals in my head in terms of things that would be great to happen.
