Brandi Carlile quote: "You know, your first album is about really amazing things. Your first album is always about coming of age, first love, first loss, usually you suffer a first loss of someone that you love to death, even, you know, really big life lessons, things you learn from your parents' divorce or from the travels that you took."

My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.
