LeAnn Rimes Scoppa quote

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “A lot of crappy things made for some great songs—thank God I have that outlet. But I hadn’t used it to its fullest before. Everything that was true was out there, and those things that weren’t true people believed anyway. So I felt like I had nothing to hide anymore. A humanity started coming out through the writing—a lot of tears were shed. And the songs I didn’t write I felt were incredible; I couldn’t write them any better. I wanted to be authentic and honest on this record.” —LeAnn Rimes on her emotionally intense, expertly performed and recorded new album Spitfire, out this week, to our own Bud Scoppa, in Mix magazine and mixonline.com.
