Come Into My Arms

You are cute

... songs like No Reason to Cry, Come Into My Arms, which you can hear, I mean, it will live, uh, at the clubs and, and at parties and weddings everywhere.

What's it like when you walk around and you hear your music or you go to a party or a club and they play your music or a sold-out crowd that sings your music back to you? It has to be incredible.

When the crowd sings a song back to you is the biggest compliment, and when they sing it so loud that you can't hear yourself, you have no choice but to stop and just let them go with it.

I had the album Love Story that was released.

We released No Reason to Cry, Come Into My Arms, Please Stay Tonight, Missing Part.

And the label tells me we're not releasing anything anymore.

We're done.

And right before I went on, my boyfriend said, it's a really young crowd out there.

And my first thought is, oh, my God, they're going to hate me, you know.

And I go out there and while I'm singing, come into my arms.

I look and I see this gentleman and he's standing there.

Freestyle is known for a high emotional power.

How did you learn to deliver those vocal takes on tracks that come into my arms without strain your instrument or your voice?

I think growing up as a kid, I felt like I was silenced a lot.

There was a lot of violence around me, both at home and outside.

And so I, unfortunately, I didn't have any vocal training until I was about 23 years old, 21 years old, around there.

So before that, it was just whatever I felt.

And so when we recorded Come Into My Arms, I said to my producers, Mickey and Elvin, I said, I have this idea.

I said, instead of singing the line, the same, how about I do it like an octave higher, you know? And they were like, like what, you know? And then I did the high note and they were like, Whoa.
