What have the artists said about the album?
For me, with my records, I’m pretty personal and it’s a way of… it’s like a diary entry. This record, it’s cool that I also don’t have the reality show, so a lot of it is your imagination this time. But, you know, I do like to make my records really personal and the reason I went with I Am Me for this record [is that] no matter what I’ve gone through, my highs and my lows this year, and even before, I’m always… who I am. In a song, I can be happy or I can be in a bad mood or whatever. Whenever I’m writing a song, I always speak my mind, always am myself.
