My Interview With Elliott Yamin

Recently I had the chance to interview season 5 3rd place runner up Elliott Yamin. Elliott was one of my favorites that season (my second favorite after Taylor Hicks). He was a pleasure to talk to.

Here is an excerpt:

How do you feel this album differs from your first one?

My approach was different because I actually had a well devised plan of what I wanted the record to sound like this time around. I had more time to do that. This album differs drastically from the first one. First of all, I’ve just really grown as an artist and a writer.

I was a co-writer on a lot of these songs, and I got to arrange a lot of the vocals. I’ve really learned how to use my voice and get the best out of it in the studio. I’ve just grown up as an artist. I think it’s quite evident on this new album, which is a lot more contemporary than the first one.
