“In fact, I would say he was the first person I allowed actually produce, because I was already doing it,” he reflected. “The way my first collaboration with her happened was… I was creating songs, and she would write the lyrics and the melodies, and then we got together and we recorded – it wasn’t that deep.”

“When it got to the point where, in the past, someone said, ‘Now, let’s pass it to producer so-and-so,’ she just said, ‘It’s done’… I was a little shocked — and excited!”, he recalls. “I think that’s part of the reason why we have such a beautiful and long-lasting collaboration.”
