Tells Timmons:
“The entertainment business isn’t a meritocracy. The most talented people are rarely the most successful. It’s usually vice versa. So many big deals just require viral overnight success and no talent whatsoever. If you start from emptiness, you’ll continue to be empty though.”
Concerning the album, he adds:
“To me, ‘Temptation‘ is more like attraction. As a culture and a society, we’re attracted to things that hurt us and cause us pain. Negativity gets more ‘clicks’. These aren’t positive things that uplift our lives, but we gravitate to them.
It applies to my personal life. Being in a band is hard, so why don’t I put my effort into going back to school and getting a safe nine-to-five job? It’s because I’m attracted to what causes me stress. The same goes for relationships. So, every song touches on an element of being drawn to what causes hurt and pain.”
