"I still write the same way and have the same perspective"
About this Quote
The intent feels defensive and proud at once. Defensive, because "same" can be used against you as shorthand for out of touch. Proud, because consistency is a form of authorship; it implies the work is anchored in craft, not trend-chasing. The subtext is: I have a voice, not a brand pivot. If audiences think they've outgrown it, that's about them, not a creative crisis on his end.
Context matters because musicians of Edmonds' generation have had to survive multiple revolutions: the CD era, the file-sharing collapse, streaming's playlist economy, and now a culture that rewards "content" over albums. Saying he writes the same way pushes back on the demand to be perpetually "reintroduced". It also hints at a deeper calculation: perspective is a long game. The songs may evolve in production, collaborators, or subject matter, but the moral camera angle stays fixed. In a market addicted to reinvention, he frames steadiness as integrity - and invites listeners to hear growth not as a hard left turn, but as a throughline.
