They consistently hobble artists’ in the name of selling more units then are surprised when the fans don’t buy the lukewarm music this produces. So they then drop the artist. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
We, the artists, make the stuff they sell and they’re like ticks on our backs, sucking the life out of us. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I’d try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I’m not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
Music is more emotional than prose, more revolutionary than poetry. I’m not saying I’ve got the answers, just a of questions that I don’t hear other artists asking. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
I hated my brief fame. We had TV vans camped outside my house, reporters hounded me… people i’d know for years started treating me differently. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
It’s like someone cutting up a loved one in front of you, all the time insisting they’ve got your best interests at heart. They’re very devious nowadays. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
I don’t believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that’s dishonest. For example, I’m not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don’t, what you hear is pretty much what I sing. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
I like ‘Bewitched’ off the first album because it’s one of the happiest songs I’ve ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs. Malcolm Wilson Read Quote
