The nucleus of a song for me comes from any motive moment in a conversation or while experiencing someone else's art that inspires a lyric. Sometimes the song comes all at once while I'm traveling, but more often than not, it comes in little couplets and little words and sentences here and there," he says. "I am my own captive audience to everything that's happening in my brain"
Singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc sits down to talk about what makes a song “evergreen,” how he writes his lyrics, and the potential of machine learning in art.
