It's 'InZENity' because you find your inner peace, your inner zen, as soon as you accept and acknowledge all those opposites inside of each of us, like black and white. You have mellow and happy, fast and slow, and all those different opposites together give you that inner calmness. That's my inzenity that I found in this album, because the opposites are not only in the black-and-white artwork, it's in the songs that I picked to record, it's in each song. I tried to be very dynamic. A lot of songs nowadays lose dynamics, so I really wanted to keep the verses so smooth and sweet and then go, like, 'Oh my God. Here's a big chorus that changed the entire song!' and then go back to the very sweet verse. So, it's the whole philosophy in everywhere.[1] |
