All artists (some more often than others) get in the writing room and want to write a HIT.
Sometimes that gets verbalized, as in some version of “We really need a single”…or it’s merely on everyone’s mind even though it doesn’t get stated.
And I’m not gonna enter into the fray at this point as to whether or not you should try to write hits or just write what comes out…
But what if you tried this…
Instead verbalizing and meditating on “lets write a hit”, what if you instead verbalized and meditated on,
“lets write a CLASSIC”.
Hits and classics are different.
‘Classic’ brings different thoughts and ideas to mind. Doesn’t it? Perhaps more grandiose, more personal, bigger, quieter, bolder, tender-er, indulgent, simpler…
Hits are rare. Classics even more so.
But why not change your approach and see what happens…who knows, it might work.
