Here are 5 things I learned reading: The Song Machine, By: John Seabrook
1. “Melody and lyrics” songwriting is different than “track and hook.”
2. Just like all artists, a singer only needs one hit.
3. Zapoleon’s rule says we need to hear a song three times before we can make a decision about it.
4. “Barbadosed” is a hard way to begin a new life in a new country.
5. If you are in doubt about a creative project: Just put it out.
