“Fuck, that’s what we wanted the record to be, just some raw soulful shit. But we ended up expressing so much. Like, my boy said, “Man, you got to just tap in like Jimi Hendrix was tapped in.” So, a lot of more personal records came out, but that raw feel with “Simply Amazin” “was definitely the direction.” -BLU
